I love his little tiny hiney! Thanks Den for being my model husband and patient model!

Post challenge:

I realize now that the title threw some people. There are a series of men's body wash (Axe I think?) that have the funniest, suggestive commercials and the slogan is "How dirty boys get clean". My first inclination was to call this "Bubble Butt" but I thought of those commercials and how funny they are and changed my mind.....not thinking of how international this site is and how that could be misinterpreted.

Thanks to my husband for being a gracious model. Sorry, Racha, that I "grossed" you out and to anyone else if I offended you. It was meant to be humorous but many just didn't "get it".

Thank you to those that gave constructive criticism and those that got the humor! That is always appreciated!

It's seems rather funny/ironic that a nude female breast or body get high marks and great comments but a cute man's rear end invoked feelings of "gross".

I see the technical problems of my photo. I added some grain to the entire photo in attempt to tone down the flash hot spots and in attempt to bring out the bubbles more.

Live and learn.

Bubbly indeed. Doesn't draw me in as a viewer. The lighting is faded and its making the image a bit dulled out - I can't tell if the browner bubbles are because of dirt (as referenced by the title) or because of use of flash/lighting that's browned them out. Also its muting some of the details of the bubbles, focus is a bit soft too but that can work for you here. Border.. not a fan, the light grey/purple only enhances the washed out nature.

I think this could have had some real pop and impact if you used the body's natural form to your advantage. Highlight the curvature of the back and/or shoulders with a sheen of foamy bubbles and let the light trace that curve. Heck, could even get humorous and make a bubble diaper. Give the viewer something to take a second look at, right now its a bit flat and I have no inclination to lose myself in the image. I gave a 3.

gross.

Good idea but it's kinda grainy and not technically good. The lighting could have been enhanced to make the bubbles stick out more and get less noise.

HEE HEE Love the hidden butt. Maybe one huge bubble done with the blow kinds kids used in the foreground would have really set this off!!!

The skin on the boy is a bit noisy. Funny shot though.
