The fourth thirty-six

Okay. I've identified another thirty-six favorite photos on Flickr. Of course, the novelty has slightly worn off and I've become busy again at work as well, which is why it has taken me a little longer to accumulate this many to form another batch of favorites.Some of the photos in my own small Flickr collection have slowly made "progress" so to speak. My limeberry photo is no longer the most "interesting" according to Flickr (51 views, favorited 2 times, 2 comments). Instead it's my photo of the Cagsawa Church ruins which has gotten the most comments (23 views, favorited 2 times, 4 comments). Likewise my photo of a jellyfish at the Vancouver Aquarium has been viewed more times than the limeberry (55 views, 1 comment). Then the photo of my cuddly toy stuffed piggy wiggy is starting to catch up with the rest as well.

All this aside, I find it really interesting to see which photos appeal the most to other people and in some cases these are surprisingly not among my own favorites. Take for instance my photo of trees taken in Stanley Park in Vancouver which in my own opinion is not as interesting as my other photos of trees. And yet it is the one most viewed among my tree/forest pictures. I suppose it's because of the unusual lighting. But then again, it probably seems interesting enough if one sees only its thumbnail but not so when viewed in full. This may explain as well why it has not been favorited so far despite being viewed many times.
