Whether it is down to the groups they're in, the keywords or just the photo, I find it puzzling which of my photos people view most often on Flickr. Admittedly, most of my photos are relatively niche and narrow in interest - a few landscapes and stuff from holidays, Formula 1 pictures and stuff taken around the house.

So I'm always surprised that my most consistently popular photo is one of some vegetables that I'd grown and dug up after leaving them in over the last winter! Maybe I'm a long way out of line with what people choose to search for and look, but very rarely does a photo that I think that is one of my favourites end up being looked at by others.

Yeah sometimes I question what I see on my daily stats lol :) For a long time, the most popular pics I had were ones I'd posted in the 70d camera thread on the TP forums. I guess that was just due to the traffic that thread gets.

More recently I've had a few pics Explored on Flickr and that definitely gets the views up.

This is one of the Explored shots with far and away the most views! Approaching 10k :)

This is mine, however I don't get many hits compared to some.

Stats (the graphs) are only visible with premium accounts, however you can see which pictures are your most popular, by clicking on the three dots ... over towards the date on the right hand side - then click popular

(edit beaten by milliseconds :) )
 
It's more interesting to see what picture got the most views the previous day since that changes more often but you need to have premium for that unless it's a brand new shot you've uploaded or if you happen to be keeping track!

My minky pic got a grand total of 8 views yesterday which was the most lol :) this was #2 with 7 views!

Although this only has 80 something views, it was only at about 40 this morning when I read this thread. Out of interest I added tags/added to groups. Doubled hits in a few hours. Not surprising of course, but just not something Id considered doing with any of my pictures
 
This one on flickr. Was the first shot I took with my DSLR (D5200) last June.

3,500+ views, 43 faves:

Flickr rates this my most interesting, which I'm plesed with as it's still one of my favourite pictures and is on my desk at work:


Valley of the Kings Balloon Trip by a1ex2001, on Flickr

This has my most views with 3k+ again I'm pleased with this as it is a shot I was really happy with I guess it has loads of views as it is one or Sri Lankas biggest tourist attractions.


Sigiriya Rock Temple, Sri Lanka by a1ex2001, on Flickr

Finally this has the most favourites which again is nice as it is possibly my favourite shot from our trip to Iceland I like it that much that it is the front cover of the holiday photobook for that trip.

Classic you can try and try all you like but nothing beats being in the right place at the right time and then any camera will do as long as you have one with you!
