Well, although Briot intends that prints should be used, I have had an interesting experience on Flickr.. This photo, from Lake Lugano, I only really uploaded just because it was there. In my opinion, it is pretty weak. It is one taken over a period of one hour, on a very cold morning, from a location I've vsited before. I actually took a whole series, and this was one of the last. The earlier ones were, in my opinion, far better, but because I made the bloody stupid mistake of not checking the ISO, which was set at 3200, and was not even awake enough to realise why I was getting such relatively short exposure times, the first 45 minutes or so were a waste of time.
So this, I think, is one of my weakest photos on Flickr, as well as being the weakest from this area. And yet... it is so far, and by quite a wide margin, the most popular and highly rated photo in my photostream.
Even in terms of location, in my opinion, either of these, taken 3-5 years ago, are better.
Maybe I should not have posted the photo if I was not particularly happy with it. But then again, people like it! There must be a lesson in there somewhere....
