Nice. If you use the rails conventional name for the column, `votes_count`, you wouldn't need to specify which column to use.

Example

```ruby
belongs_to :mugshot, counter_cache: true
```

It works either way but it's good to follow the rails conventions unless there is a good reason not to. This is really beneficial when working in teams because other people don't have to try to read the code to figure out how what you wrote works, they can assume that it works the way that is conventional.
