I've tried similar and like you I got hammered (pardon the pun).

Anytime you delve into sexuality, religion or politics in your art, you are going to get a wide range of emotions from people (in our case voters).

The way I have come to see it, is that when you try these images, if you don't get reactions on BOTH ends of the scale, you haven't done something right. Because, when you REALLY have some sort of message, people are going to love it or hate it.

If you want a lot of high votes, shoot something pretty. If you want to make some sort of statement, be prepared for negative remarks.

I sincerely believe the BEST art isn't pretty. Keep doing what you are doing, man. But, just start taking the negative comments as compliments :-)

Darn, I should have used a shiny background on my little red corvette. I like the reflection in yours a LOT better than my black BG.

Angela, the use of light to contour and model shape is an excellent example of low-key. Voters were looking for something they knew nothing about, because of a BAD challenge description.

You got totally screwed out of this ribbon. So, technically, you deserve a ribbon and some others don't. So, in my book, you got a ribbon on this.
