I try not to click on my own photos. It prevents me from knowing if others actually want to view it for being an interesting photo or are only viewing it because it has a lot of views. This allows me to learn what people view as an interesting shot and improve my photography. I will click on my photo after upload to check it out, but leave it alone after that. If you want to see how many views your photos have received without clicking on each one, enter your name in the search window and it will show all your shots with the views and likes. Too many times I click on the “popular” tab and find a few people dominate the top photos, I usually just skip over them. Some are good and some are not, but I don't have time to go through all your shots. When I do see a great photo I will go to the photographers gallery and check it out. Please limit your clicks on your own photos, it ends up blocking views of some great photos that get pushed down the list. As for this shot, it is an in camera double exposure where I placed the moon close to the Elkhorn Mountain in Strathcona Provincial Park. Some don't consider double exposures as appropriate, we all have different views and I'd like to see your best photos, just not all of them.

  • Camera: Canon EOS R

Interesting and creative image. I am all for creativity in photography, but it is nice when the photographer explains how the image was captured when the image looks a little 'edited' as you have done here. I agree with your comments regarding clicks. The images that dominate the top list... the user probably kept refreshing the image page to increase the views!
