Strange thing about thumbnails. The picture of mine which has the most comments and views by far is the June challenge entry, but I suppose that had something to do with it, but in thumbnail form its like a dark blob. Even more so one I posted a while ago called "Igor, dont play with your dinner" which did quite well, (for one of mine) in the response stakes even though I cant recognise it from the thumb, and I made it! Perhaps its the name that catches the eye. Ive noticed a couple that have used a part thumb, or none at all and have a, shall we say, titillating title and theyve been very well looked at. Usually with some dissapointment if you were expecting something rude like the title promised. He he, yes I looked. I got a few comments on my earlier work, before I learned about PSPs export jpeg function, that the thumb didnt do justice to the pic etc, but it didnt seem to stop people looking. Also I suppose those people who have work to go to, (lets me out :o)) and with slow connections will understandably only have time to look for their favourites. Ive found this to a degree on the photography forum. Ive recently been posting macro shots in there and got a few comments etc but look in the hot 20 at some of the macro shots , which get raves, and I feel like shouting, "but its not bloody sharp". Still, thats not something that can be aimed at the Bryce hot 20. Everything there seems to be there on merit. (Note to self. better not go back to the photography forum for a while)
