"Second Life - The Best of the Best" is a Flickr group that is a compilation of Second Life screenshots and processed images using SL as a source, drawn from the larger network of Second Life-based Flickr groups, an enormous community. (There's well over 2000 of them.) Described as a "very small and selective set of snapshots featuring the work of the most talented and creative Artists, Architects, Designers, Builders and, Photographers in Second Life", it's been curated by architect JeanRicard Broek since 2007. And his tagline is truth in advertising. See for yourself:
A few duds occasionally creep into mix, but that's probably not surprising, given how many images there are: at the moment, over 2300. "I have tried to be diverse in what has been selected, while staying PG, without worrying about popularity," Mr. Broek tells me modestly. "If there is any personal stamp, it is that of editor only." If see a screenshot you particularly love, be sure to click through, to find out more, including who took it, and where it was taken. (And share the details in Comments!)
"The sheer quantity of independent and original content on the Second Life software service to this day remains unrivaled among online 3D virtual worlds." -DMC
