At first I wanted the DoF deeper, but I looked a minute and I think the shallow DoF works better for this photo.

Ya know, when I rented the room, I was hoping that a Gideon Bible would be in there. Unfortunately and according to my luck, there wasn't. I hoped the curtains and rough fabric chair would be good enough clues. I did include the AC unit in some outtakes, but it just looked tacky and the composition was horrible.

Nick, I appreciate your views and statements. I've found, however, that people in general are close-minded. It's not just religious zealots or "fanatics". All people are close-minded to some extent. Why else do I, myself, continue to force nudes on a crowd that obviously dislikes them? Is it because I am somehow more enlightened? No, it's not. It's because I'm stubborn.

Seriously, I know I could produce "DPCish" images and do well here, but I want to stand out and be known for MY style of photography, whatever that may be. I'm stubborn enough that I'll continue to take the lower scores, until
A) DPCers change (not likely)
B) I change (also not likely) or
C) I get lucky.
That in itself makes ME close-minded and fanatical about pushing racy images. But, so be it. I'm human, just like those that would be called zealots. We each have our views and neither is likely to change.
