Hi, thought I'd get another one underway for Jan - Feb 2012. People seem to like this thread from the feedback on the pages and it shows off new people to follow
So, show off your pics that you thought could've make the Popular Page
This one is a personal favorite of MINE, but I know that that doesn't equate to everyone going gaga over a pic of MY kid. I really like the texture and tones.
This is street photography of another photographer. I was practically stalking him for these shots and he never showed any interest in me or that he noticed. But not popular enough. :(
@jsw0109 I'm sure I've seen this before and I'm sure it was on PP. I don't follow you but I do visit PP everyday (sorry to admit that folks!) Sorry you missed it, it's an original shot :-)
@ozziehoffy - making the PP is based upon an algorithm which takes in many factors of your recent posts. So if someone had a bunch of pics in a row that got a lot of favs, it pushes your fav ratio in the algorithem higher making it more difficult to make PP for that period of time. I'm lucky to get a lot of favs, but at times it becomes impossible for me to make PP (like needing 40-50 favs). Once I get a string of low fav totals my algorithm is lowered (or as some of like to say the "handcuffs" come off) and it makes it more reasonable for me to make the PP. But its best not to get caught up in it all and I know that there are even more great pics out there that dont make PP or top 20 for whatever reason.
I was really disappointed when this one didn't make the "extraordinary" theme vote- but I always remind myself that I'm not on here to make the PP or any other list. I'm on here to improve and refine my creativity and photography skills.
with the number of views/comments/favs/followers I gathered with this photo i was hopeful this might have made it, compared to some others with similar numbers that were on it at the same time, but im not loosing any sleep over the monkeys dissing my rainbow
I was totally jazzed about this sunrise (Jekyll Island, Georgia), and think it's worthy.... I certainly don't have enough followers to get it into the popular page, but.....
Thanks for starting this discussion Kylie. As someone who is still trying to find their way around the site, it's great to have somewhere to find amazing, talented people that get missed off the popular page.
I rather like these:
There's some really great shots here... who knows how they really choose? Is it just random or do comments and FAV's come into it?
