Gordon’s Top Ten
I have a gallery at SmugMug in which I maintain my ten best photographs. I’ve not changed those top ten very often. When I check the statistics developed by SmugMug, this picture, “Plantation Bedroom”, invariably gets the most views. This is an HDR picture developed blending (as I recall) seven shots at varying exposures. I like it a lot.

Top 3
.
The votes are in (courtesy of SmugMug statistics -- not visible publicly) and the most popular of my Top Ten is "Plantation Bedroom". In this case, most popular is awarded based on my eyeball judgement of the number of views with emphasis on views of large image sizes and the amount of bandwidth used in viewing. Plantation Bedroom is the winner by nearly a 3:1 margin. It was one of my early attempts at HDR and is derived from 7 images (sometimes I say 9 -- I've forgotten but it was more than 5) from the 20D.
Second place goes to "'Round the Campfire" which still makes me smile every time I see it. Another 20D shot, this one was carefully planned but still required a bit of cloning and layering multiple shots. I've even made a Blurb book of my Swiss Army Knives.

... and in third place we have the aptly entitled "Bike on Beach". This one was made with medium format twin lens reflex (TLR) film camera.
The other 7 pictures received nearly equal attention. At this time, I'm not replacing any of them but I am tempted to do so.

The Tenset
.
At the Online Photographer, Mike Johnston is pushing his followers to make a "tenset" of their top ten photographs. Mike's idea is that a website should begin with the tenset so that the viewer can quickly get an idea of the photographer's style and quality. Mike is a strong believer in the redact and reify process. My own Top Ten is at SmugMug instead of a personal site -- not exactly as Mike recommended but much easier to set up and perhaps avoids some of the operational and interface problems he describes.
