Congratulations, this is a wonderful image. I can only think that Lydia was having an off day.

Some from this short set had more interesting angled poses but this one had the best 'lightbulb' hand and gave emphasis to the challenge theme. I could have done a similar shot clothed - it would have been different but probably still effective; it's just not how it worked out within the wider set, but I don't think the nudity (within the depicted context) says anything about sexual orientation. Why would it? yeah, seriously...

In a sense, I believe you and agree with you Paul. These are women models, nudes, and although there is undeniable overt sexuality to the photograph, there is nothing to suggest lesbianism, no stereotypes, no modern love scene of a shot: simply art- or to prudes, "candy photography."

Congrats on your yellow, I'm happy my 10 didn't go to waste.
Can the SC do an investigation on people who always vote 1 on nudes? :)

(I'm not at all into the whole lesbian thing) Lydia's comment is really shocking, I'm going
to chalk it up as her trying to be funny and it didn't work.
