It’s 9 am here in Australia, and I just opened up my mail, to be greeted with over 300 emails about my post on 500px ( 500px.com/photo/48374842 ). Obviously my image must have hit a nerve, the comments are very nice and the image has sneaked up to page 2 of “Popular”.
Now why is this significant?
I’ve given up a while ago to compare my work with others, and the entire ranking system is something I disregard as much as I can (hence going to sleep instead of monitoring the process). On the flipside however I have read a small article in the local paper on Sunday in which I was mentioned, and let’s just say it was not too happy with it.
So – as much as I dislike the entire ranking on sites like 500px, waking up to such a flood of love does feel great.
I take the high five’s and smile ;)
