Doesn't trouble me in any case and of course, it isn't a contest. No income generated for me. PBase will show you a daily aggregate, most viewed plus gallery and individual image breakdowns for any date. It is extremely obvious what styles of images attract the most views and of course a more people look they tend to look next time as well. A critical mass has developed perhaps ;-) Remember that my primary work is with models currently (from portraiture through fashion/glamour and up to art nude styles). As well as the membership numbers and participation, you can understand that the subject matter massively changes the interest levels. People like to look at attractive women. It is a very long standing societal truth. For whatever it is worth if I put say ten BW images in a gallery with colour work views of the colour images far exceed anything in BW however much I might like what I've done in BW (and I use BW when I think it is better for the content, not just for variety).
