hi GiMi,

frankly, does it really matter? lots of views and comments does not a good picture make, though I understand it's nice to receive feedback on something you've invested time in. I've seen some works with hundreds of views etc which to me were nothing special, and a few that hardly anybody seemed to have looked which really connected and left me speechless...

as for the picture, I seem to remember there were quite a few good uploads that day, so obviously that plays a factor for someone like me on dial-up half the time who has to wait minutes for pictures to load sometimes! specifically, the tone didn't really appeal to me, the highlights appear blown, and I'd have preferred a more 'balanced' composition which maybe could have been achieved by a sidestep left. there's nothing 'wrong' with any picture as long as it's the way you intended it, so ultimately, if you're happy enough with it to post to your gallery then that should suffice, don't worry about views and comments! ;)

hope that was constructive and maybe helped a little.
Adam
