Description
### Proposed Change
Add a public like counter next to or below the "Like" button on individual photo pages (e.g., https://wordpress.org/photos/photo/64668a7494/).
### Why this is helpful:
- Community Feedback: Showing the total number of likes provides immediate recognition and encouragement to the photographers who contribute their work for free.
- User Engagement: Visible social proof naturally encourages other users to interact with and download the photo.
- Standard UX: Users expect to see engagement metrics alongside a "Like" button, similar to other photo-sharing platforms.
### Suggested UI:
A simple text counter next to the heart icon (e.g., "❤️ 15") or a small label below it (e.g., "15 likes"). If a photo has 0 likes, the counter can remain hidden to keep the UI clean.
