Neither version got the cover. I thought both images were pretty strong; so did the model. Obviously the publisher's graphic designer lacked the wisdom to see the greatness in this image. Sometimes you hit a homer; sometimes you strike out.

There is a class action lawsuit each incident is $200.

I will confess there have been some ladies that I would be willing to pay to do a strip search.

The one thing that is usually glossed over is the purpose of a strip search. And it is no fun. This may be the cause for not using the shot.

You obviously like the images (which is obviously important). Would you mind letting us know what exactly what it is that appeals to you. I'm always interested to hear first hand what the creator of an image likes/dislikes about their work but seldom get a response. This is a genuine question, by the way.

-Attractive model
-technically good: sharp, good exposure
-gesture & setting are tactile, erotic, and a little ambiguous
-photo was usable for the purpose it was shot for
-design of photo allows for surprinting, cleanup or extension of background
-lack of visible face allows viewer to put herself* in place of model
*Most erotic stories are read/bought by women; men prefer visual erotic material

I'm not really any the wiser given your response for numerous reasons. You say it is "technically good". The first image has a strong yellow bias and in the B&W version, the only areas of exposure variation (models hair and object bottom right) have lost detail almost entirely (really easy to fix). You mention, "photo was usable for purpose it was shot" but apparently neither versions were used. "Design of photo allows for extension of background", that applies to every image on this site. I can't see a great deal of "eroticism" here either as it's just a flat image of a back, bum and sign on the wall. Perhaps I'm not that easily excited
I only mention these points in light of your comment, "the graphic designer lacked the wisdom to see the greatness of this image" - perhaps he/she and I are on the same page re the merits of this particular shot.May 24, 2020 22:12:21 #

My comment about the designer lacking wisdom was jocular, not deadly serious.
