I agree with Misha. I am just one voice, though. One could save some time by visiting the Poser forum. There, one can expect a "rabid" discussion on the Hot20 at least every 4 months (grin). Throw in a few discussions about Vicky in a Temple and you've pretty much summed up where this thread is likely to lead. I, like Misha, can't read Blurededge's mind. IF I was told at gunpoint to take a guess, I wouldn't think he was pointing at you, Bidsy. Why do I say this? I went to the Photo Hot 20 for the first time today (after reading your this post) and didn't see any of your stuff in there. (doesn't mean your stuff HASN'T been there, but not on today's viewing). Also, I might point out, the Hot 20 consists of 2 photos of females and 18 photos of varied other subjects...MUCH different than the Poser Hot 20 which, on any given day, is 95% female images. Personally, I'd like viewing counts to be high. But I'm not going to compromise myself to get them. I post Poser/photography items based entirely on what kind of art I like to do. I like figure photography very much, too, and I'd post them if I had any I felt proud of. I just don't have many. But I won't post what I DO have just to get a count. I also (and I realize this may be bad) refuse to vote for an image for the Hot 20 and I very rarely rate one. (of course, contests are a different thing, where a person has entered to be judged against others) That is also the reason I never check the rating button on my posts. Art can be very subjective, so I post looking for comments more than anything else. I am here to show my stuff and receive pats on the back and, HOPEFULLY, some interchange of ideas from other artists who have a different idea that I may not have ever seen myself. So, Bidsy, keep posting the type of art you are interested in. Certainly, do not let an inferred comment stop that! I've rambled enough. Thanks for reading.
