"Popular" vs. "Favorite"

November 17th, 2010
Just curious of everyone what's your most popular (ie most viewed, most commented, most favorited) photo and what is your personal favorite photo from your 365 project? Are they the same photo, or are they different. Is your personal favorite special to you simply because it isn't popular????

Is your personal favorite special to you simply because it isn't popular????

No!

What is your personal favorite photo from your 365 project?



Why?

I think this was the best attempt at capturing an emotion. Most pictures for me just happen because I put myself in position. I am not practiced at staged photos apart from capturing nature and putting it in position.

What's your most popular (ie most viewed, most commented, most favored?)



Funny thing about this though. It may be one of the most repeatable photos I have ever taken.

This is my most popular with 2 faves and ~ 40 views. It is also my personal favorite photo. I found the little guy drowning, saved him and used him for a photo shoot.

@rossco088 What are your most faved and favorite photos?

This is one of my favorite photos. I love nature and wildlife (birds in particular) and was lucky enough to catch this guy flying from one cactus to the next. But it isn't my most popular photo.




This was my most popular photo. It had 118 views and 13 favs and so many comments! I actually didn't think it'd get many comments as I posted it as a filler because I needed a photo for the day and didn't have time to take one because mom and dad were in town.

Here is my most "popular" shot with 189 views and 14 favs:



And here is my personal favorite (although it was a tough choice between a few):

Most Popular: 270 views - 44 favs

You know what, I will just say they are the same because I really liked the day I shot this photo. I was on my way to work, passed something beautiful and actually turned the car around to go and shoot it (and in the process, enjoy it more). A lot of days since starting this project have been like that and this is pretty representative of those days. Why not? They are one in the same but I feel similar about a lot of my photos. The only photos I don't like are the ones I put no effort into.

This is my most viewed picture. 498 views.


None of my pictures has ever been favorited more than 3 times.

My personal favorite picture is this one - not many people looked at it and nobody fav'd it, but it's my favorite just the same. :)

But my favorite of my project so far is probably this one. I was in the right place at the right time and this is exactly how it looked. Surprised myself.

My favourite was a hard choice but I decided on this one as it shows the hands of my four sons. I like the way it turned out like I imagined it would - even better than I thought!!

Not a lot of my pics are popular or favorite, but here is one I took of Kintai Bridge, Iwakuni, Japan out of the car while driving by on a rainy day. (43 views 1 fave)


My personal favorite was on our drive home from Sasebo, Japan (viewed 36 times 0 faves). I love nature. This was the first time I took a "nature" type shot with man made human elements in it and I loved it. It was the moment I felt my photography was evolving.
