Hi, Why? Often pure whimsy. Ones with good thumbs are more likely to get clicked, as well as posts by people who's work I know and like. Conversley, sometimes I read the title alone and it piques my interest. I'm also more likely to comment if I like one then follow the link to the rest of the work. In fact I have to stop myself commenting, as often I feel like leaving witty/smartarsed comments that have no bearing on the quality or style of the image other than my own reaction too it. Stuff like, "nice ass" which is probably not what people are after by way of a comment :) I vote for the stuff that actually makes me stare at it, a casually cute image is nice, like flicking through a magazine, but it doesn't hold my intrerest. As I've said before, a good many of the faces (almost exclusively Vicky based) all look the same to me, the same sort of thing as looking at the current crop of "pop" idols. Fans may disagree, but I can't see much difference between Brittany and Christina A, or the countless others that parade on TV, it's the same "blonde and beautifull" American blandness that leaps at you from every magazine and billboard. The one face I found myself staring at yesterday was Kasia by Catherine P, partly because she looks like a character out of Anime, and partly because she's totally un-Vicky, She has her own face. Which again, is not to say I dislike the way Vicky looks. I just prefer her the way she looks "out of the box" Though I too look almost exclusively in the poser gallery, I occasionally spin on over to the bryce gallery, and once in a while simply hit "what's new" but usually poser only. Answer your question? :) later jb
