other things that help;

Have the main action almost happening on the thumbnail..a little mystery can help

I've also noticed that darkness, dimly lit, or muted colors tend not to get as many hits (which is a shame, dramatic lighting can draw focus to part of the picture you want, or hide a multitude of sins, depending on what end you're working for..;)

Bright colors, well lit, gets more hits..

Deviant Art is just a puzzle for me..I have a real hard time navigating it (it works best if you already know the name of the artist, or go through their 'buddy list'. I'm sure there's good stuff there, but all I come across is cartoons.

The other sites probably get hits based on talent (Daz's, Art Zone, Art Door, etc., great pics, but don't get as many new pics per day as 'rosity..;) And it's the strangest thing, but I keep seeing the same pictures on site after site..;)

Double entendre titles for pics (sometimes just punctuation tends to do the same thing..;)don't hurt, either..
