[Leica] Your best Vs most viewed

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

Thanks to everybody who commented but it's not about the pictures it's about 
differing perceptions. Have a look at your own images on the Lug and send a 
link to what you consider to be your personal favourite of your own images 
on the Lug, contrasted with the most viewed there.

I don't know how searchable the lug gallery is to outsiders, but certainly 
on Flickr, Smugmug, etc there are so many tags, that numbers viewed can hit 
astonishingly high figures.

Nathan, I can see that the title "Body Paint" might be useful in getting up 
the numbers!

BTW the most viewed one of mine on Flickr is this. It's called "Raybans on 
Rolleiflex" and is a shot of haystacks using Velvia and an unusual filter.

Anyway, have a look at your own shots and post your favourite, contrasted 
with most viewed!
