Hi,

Once I, too, used to crave the viewings and the comments but now I just strive to produce the sort of images that I would like to collect for myself. If I only get one comment or ranking, then I am well pleased.

It is also worth noting that the R'osity Gallery viewers are not as predictable as you might think. One of my most commented images was a humourous image (for ladies) with three almost nekkid men in a locker room - but it didn't get a huge number of viewings. Conversely I have images (with nekkid pin-up ladies) with over a thousand viewings that have had few (if any) comments. I guess women are generally more communicative than men. Also remember that the nudity tag will cut out a shed load of viewers, so you might get more views, rankings and comments by ditching the nudity and doing sexy (but clothed) scenes instead.

The best sort of recognition is when someone adds one of your images (or better yet, you as an artist) to their favorites - and it is just brilliant if they don't have many favorites.
