I have to come down on the side of overall improved quality. Magazine editors who don't pay a lot and are used to uneven contributions tell me that the work is noticeably better than it was five years ago. I see it in the web galleries as well.

I disagree. I think the quality bar has been lowered and that, while there are many good images out there, they are good relative to most of the crap we see,

I tend to agree with Herb, even the overall quality of the images posted to the PDML has risen significantly since the widespread adoption of DSLRs. Content is often of comparable quality though obviously individuals attraction to certain subject matter varies. There are a lot of images that I've seen posted here in the last few years that I'd happily hang on my wall. Of the other non-photo centric lists that I subscribe to I've also seen a marked improvement in the
general quality of images presented too.
