One thing I've noticed about images that have dozens and dozens of comments is that it's usually the same people posting in each other's galleries. Start posting in people's galleries and chances are they will check out your gallery and maybe even leave a comment. Keep in mind that art is subjective and there is no way to make something that everyone will like. We all have our likes and dislikes and what we think is asthetic to the eye. For me when I create something, I create it for my eye, no one else's. So long as I am happy with what I see, that's all that really matters in the end. To be honest with you, I'm sick of seeing naked figures plastered all over the gallery because it gets to be "same old, same old". Artistic nudity can be very nice to look at, but so many of the gallery nudes aren't artistic; they are there for the same reason you started this thread...to get higher viewing numbers. And that's sad! I have been browsing the galleries lately, and I totally skip right on by the thumbnails that have naked boobs and butts, because chances are the images aren't going to be any different from others of that sort.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
