Congrats on your Daniel!
Darn sensor dust!!!
At least most know it's a way of life with a dSLR and not something that kills a score. (like it used to)

And what the heck happened to the cat???

Hi Andy,

I can appreciate your art and your willingness to push boundaries. I have no problems with it at all, just thought it was just over the limit for this site, as it does suggest the act of, or soon will be the act of self-gratification.
It's life. It can be found anywhere.

The rest of your portfolio represents tastefully and artistically done images, but for this site, and in my opinion, this image is just outside of DPC's "safe for minors" guildlines.

Yes, I believe the imact of this image would have been very different in black & white in regards to it's emotional impact, as black & white normally does. The brain no longer has to be distracted by the colors and is free to allow the image to speak at a different emotional level.
The end result would have been the same though - not what DPC is trying portray to the public, with minors having access.

Thanks - I do too ;)

If I can't take a decent picture, I'll just wrestle one out of it with PS, sometimes kicking & screaming.

Nothing personal, but I feel this image falls under both bold-text areas above, or in the case of the explicit part, it is strongly implied and suggestive of a sexual act in general.

Edit to add:
I echo Judy's statement above and am in no way a prude either.
This image, in my opinion does cross the line. Crop the bottom so
her fingers aren't actually being shown in her panties and all should be fine.
