I want to get the most viewed photo from the database but I don't know how I shall accomplish this. Here's my SQL at the moment:

SELECT * FROM photos AS p, viewers AS v
WHERE p.id = v.id_photo
GROUP BY v.id_photo

The databases:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `photos` (
  `id` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `photo_filename` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `photo_camera` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
  `photo_taken` datetime NOT NULL,
  `photo_resolution` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  `photo_exposure` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  `photo_iso` varchar(3) NOT NULL,
  `photo_fnumber` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  `photo_focallength` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  `post_coordinates` text NOT NULL,
  `post_description` text NOT NULL,
  `post_uploaded` datetime NOT NULL,
  `post_edited` datetime NOT NULL,
  `checkbox_approxcoor` enum('0','1') NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`)
)

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `viewers` (
  `id` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `id_photo` int(10) DEFAULT '0',
  `ipaddress` text NOT NULL,
  `date_viewed` datetime NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`)
)

The data in viewers looks like this:

(1, 85, '3892a0ab97d6ff325f285b27b847070f', '2012-06-21 22:49:25'),
(2, 84, '3892a0ab97d6ff325f285b27b847070f', '2012-06-21 22:49:25'),
(3, 85, '3892a0ab97d6ff325f285b27b847070f', '2012-06-21 22:49:25');

One single row from the database for photos to understand how the rows looks like in this database:

(85, 'P1170986.JPG', 'Panasonic DMC-LX3', '2012-06-19 18:00:40', '3968x2232', '10/8000', '80', '50/10', '51/10', '', '', '2012-06-19 18:45:17', '0000-00-00 00:00:00', '0')

At the moment the SQL only prints the photo with ID 84. In this case it's wrong - it should print out the photo with ID 85.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.
