Shot Alive

FLICKR has a concept that they call interestingness that changes slightly every second day so that people cannot engineer things to it. It basically measures how interesting people find pictures after making some allowance for how much exposure they have had and includes how many view it, comment it and click favourite.

When people join flickr they don't know about this. then they find out and they don't have any yet. Then they get one and are elated. Then it goes away and they are sad. Then another or even two and they are over the moon. After enough of this torture they stop looking. After a while a wee peek is made and one day there are 4 in there, then a bit later they are all gone again. Then they learn to laugh. It is a good lesson for life!

Here are my pictures that I have noticed being in explore, but I might have missed some (he said trying to sound ever so casual about it).

First are three of my water colour paintings:

Fatty Arbuckle's

Abandoned

Adobe Cottage

Next a couple of flowers. Flowers, Animals, Babies and Sunsets are probably the easiest things to get high interestingness on.

Fine Pink Rose

Yellow and Red Hibiscus

Next two scenes. They score well with interesting colours, lighting and layers in the hills. The first one below was very popular for a long time and it was only a wee vidcap, so I had to go back and make a better copy so I didn't look too much like a Homer Simpson.
