I agree with that statement. I follow this section because I like to see quality nude photography. My negativity was directed at the recent rash of naked snapshots that had little redeeming qualities. There are a few photogs who consistently produce great images of boudoir and glamour style and I really enjoy their work. Then there are those who try the unusual; some works and some does not. I don't mind offering my opinion and sometimes I feel I can provide positive suggestions on these efforts. But there are a few images that I don't think belong on this website, and it only takes a fraction of a second of looking at them to say OMG or YUCK!!!

I actually like some of the pussy shots I see here. They're MUCH better than what's on the Net. These are more interesting, more artistic and far better composed. Plus, I'm starting to fall for a few of the models, who I would love to meet.

That triggers the question about one's interests: photography or pornography?

Or, Pornographic photography?

Personally, I like both, and when combined, it's very difficult to beat.

Kenneth Clark did a book on The Nude (I think that was the title, and the subject was sculpture) in which he said that an element of eroticism is normal, natural, and necessary as a part of the appreciation.

I think he nailed it.

Technically the photo is good. Artistically it does little for me.

I think people post here to become better photographers and get helpful feedback. While I don't like some of the model choices, like those with distorted breasts or overweight, I can still appreciate the photography. I do post some kidding (LOL) comments but not about my personal preference in the body type etc. While this is not intended to be porn, I do see occasional comments more about the sexual issue than the photography, I don't object to any picture or comment. There are many photographs that make me say WOW! Sometimes do to the overall lighting, pose, etc or just because the model is so damn beautiful. But beauty is different to all of us. One man's model, TAT or pose ... can ruin it for another's idea of perfect. Let's concentrate on the photography. This photo seems more like a snapshot of a patient in flat lighting than a posed photo. I'd pose her with shoulders back, more contrasting lighting etc. Everyone need to start somewhere ... keep snapping away ... you and your model will get better.

certainly adds an element of voyeurism
