Are there still people who look at the top 20? Yeah, there's cliques in the galleries. There's cliques in the forum-- you and I are participating in one right now-- the let's bash nude Vicki-- oh yeah, and nude Mike while we're at it-- clique. So boring. If you don't like a picture in the forum, you have the option, if given by the artist, to say so. More than that, you have the larger option to make a better one. Three guesses what I think is the best critique of art. One more comment-- the slamming a picture because it has a naked woman in it and no reason for her to be naked-- that's called a nude in art terms, it's a genre, it may be executed in a shitty style, but it's a legitimate genre. And the only one, barring Bison picts, that's been around literally forever. Nudes will outlast us, that's a given. If they don't, well, a world that hates the human body that much won't be worth living in anyway. Emily
