Thank-you Mario - the first leaves are just appearing on the trees again - it seems a very long 11 months since I took this.

Super! Very beautiful view!

It was a wonderful spring morning Александр Вальтерович - and so many wonderful pictures to be taken. - I think if I were to add up theviews of picturs taken that morning, they would be maybe half my total views.

Hi folk's -It's about a year since I posted this - I was just totting up - the twelve pictures from that morning have totalled just under 23,000 views between them with no 'promotion' of any sort. Not bad for a morning when I didn't even intend to wake up early ;D

Thanks to everybody for your support.

Graham,

it's a point of view Everyone who leave a comment on your pictures will see the picture again, if someone othe comment it and that starts a kind of chain reaction. If I get a comment I go to the commentors portfolio and look and comment his or her shots. Thanking for comments on my pictures I do months later, as a reminder where to look

Ciao

I suppose what I meant is that I have done nothing active to try to get people to look at the pictures picsonthemove, and so it the beauty of the scene, not my efforts that has lead people to look. :)

Graham The lighting and composition of this is outstanding. I am a bit like yourself when it comes to adding images to my yellow star gallery they are few and far between but I now have 2 from this series that I feel are more than worthy. Wow 23000 views from 12 images thats more than my entire gallery. Chris

Graham Hobbs, on June 22, said:

thanks Chris - much appreciated - particularly as you're somebody who is more interested in good pictures than view counts - regretably there are too many ways to manipulate viewing figures to give them much credence - a meaninful comment from a respected photgrapher is worth far more - but the whole way it works in pano is a view-rich getting richer and view poor geeting poorer - my most popular picture is picking up about 80 views a day and increasing - if a new picture, not entered in a comp. was doing that, I'd be thrilled - but is that picture so much five times as good as even my next best? I don't think so! I suppose i'm a bit guilty of bigging things up even by my comments above - but it's more a question of marking a point that i can look back on later to feel a sense of progress- however illusory - the only worst thing is to let what picks up views distract you from following your own photographic vision - and I've even been guilty of that at times - fortunately it usually hasn't worked ;D

thanks for the visit and kind words

thanks Carlos - maybe not the dry and dusty highway Kerouac would have travelled, but the place has that feel of open road adventure.

And thank-youAalecs - you are very kind :)
