If you sort iPhone photos by size, which images come out on top?

I just got back from a post-TED trip to San Francisco. After importing my SF shots and sorting by size to pull out videos (for a coming-soon time lapse project), I noticed an interesting trend in my photos: the largest ones are taken outside.

Here are the 10 largest pics, ranging from 4.6 MB (green, center) to 3.2 MB (face of curiosity, bottom). Average size images range from 2-2.6 MB. What attributes describe the outliers? Nature. And a bit of art. Try this and share your mobile pics hungriest for data!
