French Polynesia 394 photos

Every 4/5-star French Polynesia photo in Canto, AI-labeled: one-line description plus structured tags, sorted best first. Location names appear only where the pixels, the filename or GPS support them; "needs check" marks honest uncertainty. Click any description to correct it, confirm it, or flag it. Edits sync live for everyone. Nothing has been written back to Canto.

Locations found: 23 named sites across 238 photos

Named only where the pixels, the photographer's filename or GPS support it. 102 photos carry no named site at all, and a further 54 carry a low-confidence name shown as a chip but deliberately kept out of the caption. This pool has very little place evidence in frame: no site signage, and only 196 of 394 frames carry GPS. An honest blank is used rather than a guess. Every derived name is marked "needs check" for you to confirm, and the evidence behind each call is printed under the description.

Open questions for the photographer (8)

Places our curators judged specific and findable but could not name from the pixels or the metadata. Answer one and press the button beside it: the page shows you the sentence it will write, then puts it into every caption in that cluster. Those captions go to Canto on the next sync.

A further 15 questions raised during labeling were answered by GPS or by the photographer's own filename, and are not listed here. Those frames already carry their location.
