I got PMs for 'more scope pics.' So here's another.
A snapshot of women without clothes should not be the singular thrust of this section.

Well said. There have been a lot of recent posts that are not much more than just that -- women without clothes. I called them naked snapshots, or as I once stated, naked snatchshots. There are plenty of images on the web for "getting off" if that is what folks want to do. This forum should be about photography, not pornography; about nude photography, not naked photography; about lighting, composition, pose, setting, PP, and all the challenges and successes that go into producing an image that has a message and meaning.
Let's get this forum back on track.

Well said. I about ready to leave this forum. I know, art is in the eye of the beholder but a lot of what has been posted here is junk.

I don't think that is the point.
Starting with your caption, I can't judge if she is a pretty girl or not because I can't see enough of her to make that judgement. Nice breasts... yes. But nice hair? Nice eyes? Nice nose? Face? Legs? Nice figure?
Next, "warm stethoscope"... but where is the evidence of that?
And then I would ask what is the point of the photo? Is it to demonstrate the technique of using a stethoscope, because there is not much else I see in this photo? It does not really show the beauty of a nude female body in an expressive manner. The setting is unexciting, the composition is nothing special, and the lighting is pretty flat.
So this image is little more to me than an average young woman being examined by a doctor or nurse. I have no desire to ponder and enjoy the image because it just does not speak to me. Other samples of your work are much better than this contribution, and that is what I would like to see more of in this section.

I don't participate in this thread, but I look in from time to time.
It's called "Nude Photography, Boudoir Photography, NSFW, Discussions and Pictures"
What do you think should be on here?

Well, let's be honest, most of what we all take is junk; it's an amateur forum, for non- or sometimes semi- professionals.
In other words, amateurs.
It's like The Attic...you don't have to come here if you are offended.

I think the majority of what is posted here is actually excellent.

I am not offended. I come to this forum to learn nude photograph. Which to me is not pussy shots. I can see all I want of that all over the NET.

Well, I agree. I don't follow this thread regularly, but I do drop in every week or so. I don't do this type of Photography, but I observe it casually, and I think it's OK to do.
Thank you. I am not alone

I think many agree, but don't want to be critical.
After all, we are not children.
