While I do not generally have any complaints about the number of views in my gallery, nor the comments and critiques of my work, I do get where this all started. I see images that get hundreds of views and numerous comments that I consider marginally bad, or at best average. But as we all have said, if you stay here long enough you get to understand it as the way things are. Granted I post in the Aviation and Military sections, and we are a clique of our own, and tend to stick together. I have a couple images that are way up there in views and comments and are proud of those particular images, but i also have images that I like better than those and they have much fewer of both. Sometimes it is timing, sometimes the thumbnail doesn't inspire a click. Who knows, that is the way it is. Stay here long enough and post enough and you will get a fan base. It may take quite a while, but just take what you can get.
