Well- that is human nature- personally I like looking at photos of the human body & nature- both are very beautiful & pleasing to the eye- I don't like the body being demoralized & reduced to smut though. Bitsy/David's photos are wonderful & professional. I find it amuzing that the thumbs of women or suggestion of nudity get the majority of hits- I look too. Not all of us have models we can photograph (darn), thankfully there's always nature.

Not meaning to change the subject- not everyone liked my roadkill series- I was hesitant in posting them knowing I may get some negative reactions on my choice of subject matter- but like I had posted with the photos- it's a common scene here in TX, was looking for new subject matter, didn't shoot any of the more disgusting images, & imo, I found it photoworthy. It got a reaction & that's a big part of viewing any artwork.

Anyway, I could ramble on, but as long as whatever-the- image is done in good taste with hopefully some artistic flare, then by all means post it! And hopefully it will get some of the recognition it deserves.

(Hmmmmm- that photo did knock the cat pic right outta of 1st place- wonder what that says...)
