Wow! That always amazes me when people tell me that they see my passion and love in my images. Children are my favorite subjects and I am turning pro, specializing in child photography. So, you have greatly encouraged me with your kind words. :) Thank you. ~ Lonnit

You have a lot. Slideshow goes fast. I find I like the same ones that everyone else liked. But the ones with your kids show a lot of love by the photographer and they are hard to resist. Plus I like the unusual takes you have on some. My bigger complement is that I am not a fan of the PP that alters the image away from an actual photograph but in many cases you do it so well that I have to give in and like it.

Popularity is not really a factor. It's based on many other things and certain user's attention seems favorable. You favorited 133 of my images? LOL! How long did that take you? ~ Lonnit

You should be thrilled. I looked through you folder and you have some wonderful images. Since I am sure you are getting better with age and your older ones were very interesting, I must assume to get into explore there is a strong element of "popularity" involved now that was less a factor back then. I have Flickr friended you so that I might see those good ones that didn't get the exposure and popularity vote.

Yes, that's the one! It's getting tougher and tougher to get into "interestingness" as the site gets more and more popular. I am always thrilled to get in. I have 62 images that have made it in. If you're interested, I have them all in a set and you can see them all here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/graphicdetails/sets/72057594049455589/ . ~ Lonnit

You mean the tab "explore" in flickr, where they take the top 500/day with the most "interestingness" factor. Considering that there is a about 4500 uploads a minute, this is an honor. Congratulations.

It's very nice. I looked in Flickr for the group explore (27K hits). I figured it was an invite only and would be easy to find ... wanted to see other people's pics in the group
