Title: Finally!
Post by: ianhlnd on July 11, 2007, 09:51

Sitting on the hook waiting for some work to be done to my generator, I was in a wireless area got hooked up and to my feigned surprise, I saw one of my images hit the top 50 of the week on SS.  Not only that,  but a respectable number 35.  Happy, Happy, Happy!

What I've found being in the top 50, is that it brings more people to your gallery, Pics I had thought of deleting due to slow sales are selling.   Not only that, but it's not a bikini babe business woman teleconferencing from the beach.  Just a minimally isolated old car!   Yea for the buyers! ;D ;D ;D

Congratulations!

However, I couldn't see any isolated cars on the top 50 of the week, could you post a link!

I just hope your image hasn't fallen off the top 50 in your moment of glory :-)

I  don't know how to post a link.  I tried a couple times but it just kept disappearing!  You have to filter for photos only, it's still there, number 35

Congratulations! A great image, with good use of wide-angle.

At a risk of being called nosy ...  :)  ... could I ask about how many downloads a day you're getting of this image to make it in to the top 50? I want to try and judge how far off it some of my images are.

No, no wide angle, just lens curve shot from a low angle.  I'm not sure how many per day, but uploaded on June 18, and approved around the 20th or so, 104 uploads, most in the last week.  Basically the background and all the people and other cars were dodged out, nothing more.  Sometimes less is more?

And thanks everybody for the kind words.

No wide-angle. That's amazing, with that curvature it looks like you got up really close with a WA lens.

Ah well ... you live and learn.
