I don't care about the numbers. I seldom look at the hot20 (and notice that it says 'hot', not 'top' or 'best'). I don't base my viewing of images by how many other people have looked at them or what their rank is. I will often look at an image even if it has a terrible thumbnail, and be surprised to find something quite nice. I guess what I am coming down to is that it is possible to enjoy this site as a place to share art. I love fractals. I love posting my fractals for others to see. I love seeing the fractals that others make. It's interesting to me that I see things that I would never attempt to do, but that I still find attractive to view. I will go on making images that please me, not for whatever is popular. Just my $.02. :)

Fractals will always amaze me!
