One could say the same about photos of Bees. Flower, Tripod, patience, expensive camera, remote release.
May I remind you of the Mapplethorpe controversy, google and read.

Why is it that nipples are just fine and labia not.

Not my 'cup of tea'. Neither. But, if I had to lean towards one or the other, I'd pick the black and white. What you are presenting here is a pattern and color distracts from that.

I'm not one of the anti tattoo brigade but in this case the tattoos are distracting, take them out and I'd prefer colour to b/w

"Selfies"?


Personally, I look at the model and the purpose for the image. This means that a presented image is not necessarily sufficient alone to address such.

Over the decades, I have seen many photographs of genitalia for many purposes, one being in medical research. Also in live model studies. In the proverbial, "Move along, there is nothing here."

The reactions to the images run along the lines of "Tradition". Certain folks are trained to faint "dead away" at the sight of the areola or pubic hair.

For me (only), I find nothing in either shot other than being a good processed shot.

"Girl parts" qualifies as just those "click bait" words, IMO.

To each his own. If looking at puffed out pussy is your thing, have at it. I know all about the Mapplethorpe controversy. Another waste of taxpayer money, in my opinion. If I posted pictures of dog shit or baby puke what kind of respond would I get? As I said, to each his own and if someone post pictures I will continue to give my opinion on artistic value or technique.

" I said, to each his own and if someone post pictures... dog shit or baby puke "

I look in the gallery and wonder how people can post photos that may have been taken by my Aunt Sally and may well contain "dog shit" in the image which has nothing to do with the photo's message. The responses are too often, I hope, dishonest saying words of praise rather than suggesting a series of simple adjustments like crop, straighten, lighten etc.

If I view the works of Los-Angeles-Shooter, I say they are very good to excellent. I view this one as an anatomical curiosity much as I view the extra huge breasts that men go ape over. Yes, to each his own, as long as he does not grab mine [old college saying].

I prefer the overall sculpture photos in this section, but [IMO] one should not go out of their way to hide labia. Labia are and have been the source of great pleasure in my life... nipples, humph, why? Oh, confession, I was a bottle baby.

Despite having effectively said, “I am done,” I will address Don’s query with my opinion.

Although all body parts are “natural” they are not all photogenic. Many body parts, but especially female breasts, come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but as with noses, fingers, toes and anuses, not all are photogenic. Everyone has their own “redline”, so to speak, when it comes to porn or nude photography, and mine is genitalia that are a prominent feature or focus of the image. I can’t explain the reasons for my bias, but there it is. To each his own.
