Flickr’s Explore/Interestingness thingamajig is an odd beast. No one really knows how it works, yet people put so much value on images that make it onto Explore. While I don’t do anything in particular to try to make it onto Explore, I do love it when one of my images even cracks in the top 500. It’s just a little bit of validation that some people actually like my work.
This week has been a particularly good Explore week for me. Four of my images made it into the Interestingness archives, one of which is the shot I got of Brittney from earlier this week. That one is still in the top 20 for the day I uploaded it and is now one of my most popular images.
The other big one is the image featured above, which is on its way to become my most popular image. As of this writing, it has over 1500 views, 107 favorites, 70+ comments (a couple are my own), and is currently sitting at #3 on Interestingess for the day. It’s only been online for just over 24 hours, so those numbers are freakin’ insane for me.
Despite those impressive numbers, I’m certain that the it will drop out of Explore soon enough. I’m guessing some photo of a cute little puppy will usurp me. That or a pretty sunset. :P
sweeeeet! It’s a great image.
