The Like, Comment and Sharing features of Facebook all require a unique URL that can be shared back into Facebook. From the link you sent, each image simply loads in a popup, and doesn't appear to have a unique URL for each image. That makes it difficult to share back as Facebook wouldn't know what you're actually sharing.. Facebook would just see the main gallery 'cover' page.

I hope that makes sense. If there is a unique URL that you could send a user (or Facebook) to, let me know. From that, we may be able to help you add a Like button (or Share button) to those individual pages.

Thanks,
Alex

The only trick I can recommend is that you can 'trick' Facebook by adding a random query string to each URL, like:

www.andrewvincentphotography.com/albums/...15-gina-open?image=1
www.andrewvincentphotography.com/albums/...15-gina-open?image=2

That *will* generate a unique Like counter for each button, and you could place that under each image. The problems with that is that, when shared back to Facebook, the timeline post will show the generic details of the gallery, not the specific image (since there's no URL for Facebook to scrape and understand the individual image). Also, any clicks of that post will be directed to the 'home' page of the gallery and the user following that link wouldn't be brought to the popup of that image.

Again, though, there would be an individual count for each image within the gallery area.

I hope that explains,
Alex
