Awesome shot! Congrats on your high placing! 13th place! Woohoo!

Who else sees the sex in this shot, I think it's marvelous! I think it's the kind of sexual undertone advertisers really go for.

Strikeslip, I've been searching for it after you posted the comment, but I can't find it ;) but maybe that's because I "know" the photo that well.

Can you discribe why / how you see that?

I see that "wink" there. Are you just trying to embarrass me by making me describe what I see? I do mean it as a compliment, I think it's quite masterful, the kind of thing I wish I could do! Mad props to you, again, for the 'shot'.

I'm confused...are we talking about sex or the photo?

no honestly, I really don't see it. I'm just a girl who likes winks :P I'd never dare to embarass you!

Thank you so much for the compliment Slippy :D

OK then, since nobody else is going to step up to the plate at the moment.... :-D

What I immediately see is the bottleneck as a phallic symbol. The hand is 'stimulating' the phallus. The ejaculation is in mid air, and also being caught by the glass, which could represent a couple of things such as a vagina or mouth.

I think it's a subconsciously stimulating photo, and would sell pop very well. Maybe too stimulating for a mainstream pop manufacturer. Imagine the uproar if Coke or Pepsi used this image (I think it's worthy)!

Whether or not you meant to capture this subliminal message, it is there, and you did it very well!

-edit... I hope I don't get in trouble for writing the 'v-word', if I do it's all biteme's fault!

The photo was already a masterpiece but with Strikeslip's description, it just doubles the perfection.

It's not porn, it's art.

Oh my god Slippy, never thought about it that way, and actually that was not my personal intention ;).. *blush*

the only thing I don't understand is the "pop"-thingy (overseas-mis-communication?)
And hell no, it's not my fault! ;)

Thanx guys, you make my day :D

LOL, no, not porn, but it is very artful.

Oops, Canada... pop = soda = soda-pop = cola. :-)
It's not your fault, I guess, but you've done it & now it's out there for interpretation and can take on a life of its own. :-D
