Joshua, Sorry bout my being late responding to this..but your post was just pointed out to me. First off...I think Jeff is a wonderful artist..and his talent is just incredible. The picture is beautiful. I do not have 17th century attitudes..and if I did..it wouldn't be any of your business to begin with. I apologized to Jeff for my little rant on him...I was having a bad day..and didn't take the picture as it was meant...as a fantasy story. Nudity does have it place in some pictures...but not in everything...and if you take a look around these forums...you will see that 75% of the pictures have some form of a naked woman in them. And that is demeaning in that...the impression is given that women should only be admired for their form...or their bare breats. (Jeff..I know this is not what your intent was...so I apologize for doing this in your thread). I have seen some beautiful images on this forum...some with nudity...some not. However..I tend to be more impressed when a picture can make great impact without the nudity. Jeff has that kind of talent...and the above picture would be just as beautiful if the lady had a bra type top on...and I was just trying to point that out to him. However as Jeff pointed out. I didn't know the whole story behind his character...and now I see why she is partially nude. I felt bad about the way I put it..and I apologized to him...because he such a great artist..and I have a great respect for his work. However...I won't apologize to you in any way. Read the threads before you post...the whole thread. Tammie
