I guess that its popularity is mostly an artefact of Zazzle's "best-seller"
feature in the pre-beta phase, which was actually a "most clicked" feature.
"Fluorescence" was one of the first really good images at Zazzle, got
clicked on a
lot when Zazzle was young and it got stuck forever on the top list, since
people
would click on the first images of the list.
