My lack of artistic sensibility, at times causes me to fail to understand the photography techniques or properties that the photographer used or intended to capture. But the Flickr community is brimming with experts who often chime in about what they like/see in comments. My #nlproc hack (for the upcoming Yahoo! Winter Hackday) aims to solve this by summarizing this expert knowledge (wisdom of crowd) for a photograph.

What You Comment Is What You See (WYCIWYS) is a Flickr hack that harnesses the comments of photos to determine the attributes/properties of the photo that people are talking about. It also gives a sentiment score (+ve) for each attribute to help a user gauge what other users find most interesting about a photo. Following are some outputs for WSCIWYS (click to zoom):
