I think the gallery is about marketing. As mentioned the thumbnail is all important to initially grab the viewer. I did a parody image this week called " Clothes as Kryptonite" (see url) which was making light of the fact that naked pics gather the most amount of hits. To my chagrin its' gotten almost 700 hits. The largest number of hits I'd recieved on an image prior was 400. This was sort of unsettling as you can follow a formula to get hits, but what is its worth? There was also the realization that the poser gallery culture is what is feeding and sustaining the naked chicks in the temple syndrome. If a person spends alot of time doing a artful render and get 40 hits and someone else slaps togather a nude Vickie at the library and get 500 hits, they are either going to quit or convert to the formula that will get hits. When the culture changes so will the gallery entries.
