Wonderful face thip ! I finally have to say something- in my opinion high viewing numbers DO NOT mean an image is good from an artistic point of view, it means that the image either covers a popular subject or the artist is popular so the image becomes popular as well. NOT the same thing as good. Many times in the poser gallery sandwiched between two images with numbers below 30 is an image with 220 viewings and a huge amount of effusive comments and I wonder why sometimes because I can't see always see higher artistic merit in the many times viewed image just popularity. Not a bad thing in its self but dodgy if it becomes too entangled with the concept of what makes 'good' art. I often wish images could be posted WITHOUT the artists name on the thumbnail- that things were all viewed on the apparent merits of the thumbnail. Only on the large image would the artists name be. Might feel less like a popularity contest sometimes then.
