My first Tangueria of the year: meeting a lot of friends, taking pictures of some of my favourite models, and some nice dancing to the music of DJ Stephan. Life is good.

In the beautiful foyer of the 1869 Brugse Stadsschouwburg, there was an equally classy milonga, organized by Pasos de Brujas. The planned demo by Alma & Aldo had been cancelled, but we were lucky to have Sonja & Sven and their mentors Marisa & Oliver in the milonga, who gave us a double demo.

Thousands of pictures of people dancing on milonga.be and the most popular seems to be one of a lady waiting for a dance! Not sure what the message is there. Should I take more pictures of people that are not dancing? Or do a lot of the female voters sympathize with the feeling in the picture?
If the lady in the picture would step forward, that would be nice because I have no idea anymore who she was, and the ring itself is not enough information.
For info, this is the rest of the top 5 of 2011:

The first edition of Tango For Life was a big success. In an authentic chappel dozens of tango dancers were being rented for a tanda at a time to raise money for StuBru’s Music for Life.

Just like last year, I would like you to help me choosing the best milonga.be picture of the past year. For that, you should go through the list of all milonga.be favourites and ‘favorite‘ and ‘comment‘ (see further) on pictures that you like! I will give you the top 20 and the most popular photo in the beginning of January!
Some more details on how to improve the scores of the pictures you like:
If you DO NOT have a Flickr account
- go to the overview page and click on each photo you like to see them in full size. Every click counts as 1 view!
- post the link of a picture you like a lot (like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pforret/6447405305) on your Facebook profile or Twitter feed. Your friends might click on it and every click counts!
- you can see the counted views on the right of each picture
- Pro tip: if you really want to influence scores, get a (free) Flickr account. You just need a (free) Yahoo account, and it’s easy if you already have a (free) FB or (free) Google account. Did I mention it was free?
If you DO have a Flickr account (now we’re talking)
- for every photo of the overview page that you really like, press the Favorite button on top. Favorites count more than just 1 click!
- If you want to explain why you like the picture, leave a comment. Comments are worth even more than Favorites!
- I’m not telling you how much more favorites and comments count in the scores, but: it’s significant!
Extra tips
- Check if the picture is from 2011! I won’t take older photos into account!
- if there are pictures of mine that you really like, but that for some reason, I did not put in the Milonga.be Favs group, let me know, I can add them. The top 20 will ONLY contain pictures from that group!
- All the numbers I will use to calculate scores are only on Flickr: views/favorites/comments, everyone can see them. Don’t send me emails with URLs, don’t try to bribe me. If you want a certain picture to score higher, use the tools above to improve the score!
To start with: here are 50 popular photos from 2011:
