By "least popular", I mean the image with the fewest comments.  We'll consider it cheating if you post an image that has been in your portfolio less than a month.

Also, if it isn't popular, why do you keep it in your portfolio?

Here's mine:

https://img4.modelmayhem.com/060717/12/44bbcabab33c6.jpg

I keep it because...
   ... I like the model (Natalia, MM# 172488),
   ... I like how the lovely light matches her skin,
   ... I like the unusual pose,
   ... It's one of my few images that isn't 18+

I like the style and shoot many sessions similar to this style, so I keep it in the portfolio.

Its the most underestimated.
I keep it because it was a long drive there, it was freezing on the beach, I got tar stuck all over my body and hair, and it with a hot guy.

I keep it because:

I love Collin and Envy, and it's not like anything else I've done.

I think it doesn't get a lot of views/comments because the small collage format doesn't draw people in.

Truly one of my most favorite images of you.  This was one of the first images that made me notice you Trish.

I probably change my port once every three days so it's hard to gauge an unpopular image since I snatch down what isn't getting views or comments pretty regularly.


But this pic is one that I thought would be better received but seems like i have to always post it in threads like this to get people to notice it amongst the scattered ass

Funny that it gets so little love here, this blew the socks off of a pretty well known mag editor.

Besides a few posted this month this has the least amount of comments and hits. but it's one of my favorites....funny how that happens. I will not take it out of my portfolio because I like it. If I did not care about the image I would probably change it but I just love it for some reason

"Why do I keep it?"

Possiblely to vary it up a bit, something other than a "sit there & look pretty" kinda thing. My editorial typ stuff USED to get a lot more views/comments before the site axed the titles to the thumbnail page.

I don't get these "comments" everyone seems to be talking about, so I have to go by page views. This one has been up for awhile but hasn't gotten much love:

It was my first serious attempt at a multiexposure comp with the same model. Its simple, but I thought the model did a nice job of interacting with her imaginary self. 

It was just fun to do.  smile

You can't assume that an image with low comments is not well-regarded.

I, for example, like that Kelly Lind / Trish photo quite a bit - and I probably didn't comment on it.

I change my photos out a lot. I only leave my best ones out for a long period of time. But this one isn't popular. I think it shows my profile, and my good side at it's best. I also, love my expression.

Nothing really special about this, but it looks a little bit like it could be an ad or a book cover. I haven't posted anything new in ages because there ISN'T anything new! (Hear that? wink

I guess this is cheating since I only uploaded it on December 10th.  I have another pic with just one comment, but it has more views than this one, so this one is considered the least popular.  It's actually one of my favorites.

i have enough photos to rotate them all regularly; variety ...

... and if there's one that garnishes a lot of comments, my test is to delete it, reload it, and see if it gets comments again. yes? was strong. no? was stg else.

regardless, no one image stays up for months or is allowed to have hundreds of views.

Everyone loves it when I show it in the real world,
I'm not sure it translates as well in pixels on the screen.
