Which one do you prefer?
As for me, I was quite impressed by the close lightning....
Note that there are two of them where there's Barack Obama and three where there are flowers... So if I wanna have over 4.000.000 hits, do I have to take a shoot of Obama surrounded by flowers?

Why in the hell is the 'self portrait in barbados' in with these other interesting photos?

Yeah, that's a good question, but there are more hits for some others photos as well:

Magenta Cast with Wide Angle lens: 16.777.000 hits
.when you run ... it turns ...: 12.876.000 hits
Nohkalikai Falls, Cherrapunjee: 3.169.000 hits

I haven't included these because seems like there's a flaw in the hits count system as there are no more comments (and far from it) than the others above. At least, that's what they said in the discuss here...

However, the photo you refer to have more than 900 comments, so.... I don't know!

Whats with 6, 7 and 8? lol

No one cares about the lazy money thieving royals, and we have people admiring them? lol

#8, i don't know what that is and why its important.

Other 9 are beautiful.

Pic #10 is sick.

Wow, I didn't know taking mirror pics could get you a million hits lol

All the nature pictures are the best.
Especially the lightning strike and the honeybee.

The other pictures are crap.
Election night....yeah right that game was rigged from the start.
Situation room...sure, there's a group of people who are clueless.
Self portrait...no comment. Stupidity knows no bounds.


I can't believe the hits but I really don't care either.



The lightning picture redeems all other garbage!

Thanks!
