Normally I am in favor of gratuitous nudity- wait, I mean normally I am NOT in favor of gratuitous nudity and I am not very willing to stretch very far to "see" someone's vision of art. To me it either is or is not artistic - to me. Having said all that, I missed this one in the voting, but I would've given it an 8 or 9. I don't see the nudity as gratuitous and I do see it as very artistic and if I thought about the "point" you were making, it would not be hard to get the contrast you pointed out.

In summary, I think it was an awesome and unique shot! Very creative, artistic and great for the challenge. Has the wow factor and the out-of-the-box element everyone is always yammering about.

Voters, eh, whaddya gonna do. Take pride in the shot, it is a masterpiece. And remember, that's coming from a guy named "Art" ;-)
