8306	Enhancement: Display total like count on individual photo details pages	snilesh		"### 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:
1. **Community Feedback:** Showing the total number of likes provides immediate recognition and encouragement to the photographers who contribute their work for free.
2. **User Engagement:** Visible social proof naturally encourages other users to interact with and download the photo.
3. **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."	enhancement	new	normal		Photo Directory
