I tend to just make images that I like, and I like to wander all over, trying new things all the time. I have a couple of favorite formulas, and I tend to prefer certain types of images because they 'work' well, but I also love to do things that are completely different. What I notice is that more people comment on flame images, almost invariably. I can understand that, because I think they are more 'real' looking in many ways than other things. However, having said that, other contributing factors seem to be: day of week, time of day, color, who posts next to you....and a whole host of other small things. Sometimes I think people will also comment if you do something that is unusual for you, maybe just out of surprise. Thanks for an interesting topic.
