Nice pic Gman - she has kind of a Lynda carter thing going there. What is the purpose of deleting all your nude images if you know that at some point you're just going to "wobble" the other way again? "I'm torn over whether stuff like this is porn or just artistic nudity..." You will always find someone who will take either side of that question - for some it's just an opinion, for others, it's a deep seated conviction worth killing over. You have to decide for yourself or accept that someone else has a better handle on the truth than you do and take their position. If it makes you feel bad then don't do it or, do some heavy thinking on why it makes you feel that way, and whether that feeling is really appropriate. If you took a poll and got 99% voting "artistic," I somehow doubt that the external validation would resolve what is essentially an internal conflict. To me, it's neither art nor porn, it's just a nice picture - though the breast is a bit too shiny for my taste :-) Trying to place some profound moral meaning on a simple picture of a naked woman, is IMO not the most productive exercise in a world where we should all have much bigger things to worry about. Such images have existed for all of human history and I see no evidence that they have been the cause of or the cure for war, poverty, geoncide, famine, racism or any of the other true scourges of mankind.
