Ok, I was just looking at my portfolio, and this picture has been viewed 12,549 times! The next highest view count I have is for a red ribbon entry at 6,395. The dog photo wasn't even entered in a challenge!
I tried tineye for an image I have on DPC that had an unusual number of views but couldn't find out why. So whatever...
Maybe it's a cool thing that you have over 12k views???
Your pic is a pretty cool shot.
To me I would click because its an intriguing thumbnail!
Maybe this is why?
Doesn't make sense, though. I've only been on since January. If you look at the profile, by far the most viewed pictures have been my few ribbons. They are in the thousands of votes higher than the non-challenge pictures. Yet this is 6,000 views higher than any of those. It can't be simply because it's interesting. I only have 6,769 profile views!
It has been linked somewhere - probably a dog site/board, and maybe for that specific breed. One of my highest viewed shots was linked to several outside sources for its humor value, but doesn't have even half those views. So wherever it is linked must be quite popular!
One of mine got linked from Stumble Upon and got 5859 views during voting (thus during a single week) -- as well as an additional 10843 views since then.
Great dog shot. I think the fact that you caught the dog looking at you while in mid-air is what probably led to it being linked from somewhere.

It would be nice if DPC could provide the referring URL of all our image views--just like Flickr does. With Flickr, I always enjoy seeing how folks "stumble upon" my photographs.

What a pain that would be if we had to insert this into every one of our image pages.
Your link has been viewed so many times because it was posted on "StumbleUpon"People click a button in the SU toolbar and it takes them to a random page that's been faved. Your page was faved, so when someone clicked that button they had a change of coming to your photo. That's why it's got so many views.
