The rating thing depends on whether or not it's your friends who sees the pic or just casual passers by. While some passers by may also comment and rate the pic, it's more usual for people you actually know to do so. 35 hits is not a lot, I've had pics with over 100 hits before the first comment came. I didn't comment on it when I saw it because since you'd started this thread I reckoned it was sort of a WIP.
