| Wow so many 1s yet it still scored a 6.52. I wonder if there has ever been another image at DPC that scored better with as many 1s. |

While this is a pretty girl,I question why you would not just do a total nude?
Rather than use this swim wear,which made her in my mind look like she was in pain..but the overall photo is very
nice as far as color and comp. As are most of yours..I do enjoy your work and thank you for sharing.

I just joined this CLUB and as a new SNAPPER I am willing to learn from the Pros. Who am I to judge, however my eye sees so much talent here. The Contrast, Clarity and the message is Clear.
The thong is small....got any more pix like this? LOL

I gave your pic a 7, a high score. You did a very professional job on this pic, however, it is not Playboy quality but due to dpc editing restrictions you had no control over that. It's not Playboy quality because you can see the stretch marks of clothing she wore before the shoot. I doubt that even on the cover of Playboy nipples and pubic hair would be that visible and it indeed borders on the vulgar. You did that to bring in your 10s from those who were envisioning a good f.... So, they did offset your 25 1s. And yes, i'm pissed too that the anti-nudity crowd deliberately and routinely turn their nudity filter back off so that they can dish out their 1s.
Personally, i like nude pictures of female and male models but i prefer subtlety, i.e. rather less than more, so that the viewer is left with the pleasant task of imagining :) With this picture, even though the model wears a bikini, there is not much left to imagine. It's a 'Wanna F... Me' picture. I like sensuality, like to see the beauty of a beautiful body portrayed in an artistic, not sleazy, manner.
While voting was going on, i sure hoped that the Laughing Horse would win out over these booooooobs. Am glad it did. Btw, i got just about the same number of votes your pic got, i.e. nothing unusual in the high number of votes.
Sorry DrJones for having made the above remark. You surprised me greatly that you even marked it helpful :) Guess i can learn a thing or two about tolerance from you. Guess i can also learn a great deal about photography from you.

To all:
again, thank you for your comments, before and after the voting procedures.
I would like to clarify one thing: My intentions in my post after the voting results were not to hit on the laughing horse shot. I think it is a well done shot, (I gave it a 7). I was just using a little sarcasm to laugh a bit at the situation simply because I found it ironic. I didn't mean to be disrespectful to the photographer who shot it, or to anyone who loved that shot. If I offended anyone with my remark, I honestly appologize.
One thing I would like to add.
I want to say that I am not surprised at the voting results in a negative way. Of course, the twenty-five 1's are a real downer, but it's true that I expected to get some negative marks beause of the nature of the shot. The numbers speak for themselves and I find them to be quite interesting when we anylise them. For instance, this photo go an extremely high number of votes compared to many. When you think about the difference, this means that some visitors saw the thumbnail and decided to click because the photo, in thumbnail format, already had standed out on its own. I suspect many people who voted these 1's came to see the photo out of curiosity even if they knew they would be shocked. In other words, they wanted to give 1's.
I;'m not complaining. I really do find the numbers to be interesting.
And on a final note, I sincerely would like to thank again everybody who left comments during the voting process. You have all surprised me in a very good way with your positive feedback. Some of you have commented on not liking the subject of the photo, but you've also said that you recognized its technical qualities and such. I thought the shot would offend women a lot more than men for obvious reasons. But the women of this site proved me wrong in the comments they left during the voting procedures. 1/4th of the comments were left by women, and all of them were positive and respectful. You all have my utmost respect.
Thanks. |

i skipped voting on this picture as well, because i didn't think i could be fair... too much skin for my taste, but technically very well done and appropriate for this particular magazine... so, i couldn't give it a ten it deserved because i didn't like it, and didn't want to score it lower because it was really good...
that said i find the references to the "laughing horse" inappropriate... you don't have to make disparaging remarks about somebody else's work to discuss the merits of your own.

I did not vote on this image because I felt I could not step back far enough to give it a score it would have deserved. She is a very pretty model, she has a nice complexion and great hair however I felt you were pushing it just a bit too much with the revealing bikini (which is tied too tight on the hips btw) So I didn't vote on it cuz I would have likely added another 1 to that list. However, when I look at it again it doesn't deserve a 1, but it does not deserve a 10 either. I would have likely given this a 6 due to small imperfections in the shot itself and also due to what I felt was a bit of tastelessness (her nipples should be covered up completely if it's to be a cover shot..)

Your 25 1s will be from the people who found the partial nudity offensive. Not a shock really. Sad but surely somewhat predictable.
For what it's worth I think it's unfair to hit out at the laughing horse shot - like it or not I think it's a superb shot and also one that would be likely to make it onto a cover of magazines on that subject.

| I feel your pain in seeing some of the voting scores! The picture is not offensive, is very well composed and executed. I say you got everything right. Don't tell the model her "Boobsies" :) were probably too big as she must have spent a fortune getting them! If you need someone to be there when you tell her a laughing horse beat her in the challenge ....Give me a ring!!!!!! |

I can't believe you received twenty five 1's!!! That's a f*****g joke! How did a laughing horse score better than this? Goes to show you can't take this site too seriously... i mean comon'?

Thanks to everybody who left comments. I appreciate the fact that most of you were very respectful in your comments even though the photo was riské for DPC.
I knew when submiting this photo that it was risky. But I honestly question its ranking position... I think it deserved more, especially in the context of the challenge "Magazine Cover". What amazes me is how subjective the voting process can be, regardless of the photo quality. I mean, twenty-five 1's ???. How more unfair can it be? Anyway...
Interesting facts though about the votes this photo received (total approx. 320 votes):
Average Vote per Commenters:8.807 (67 comments!)
Average Vote per Users w/ Cameras: 6.577
Average Vote per Users w/out Cameras: 3.250
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to break the news to this model that a laughing horse beat her in the Magazine Cover challenge...
Thanks.

| DrJones I presume? Anyway, I can't wait to see how the conervative voters must have bashed this one to bits. As for me, the picture quality is an absolute 10 without question. The lighting, the pose, the contrasting sky....it's perfect. However, I think that if the magazine cover is revealing THAT much, then the contents of the magazine are perhaps a little inapproriate for this site. More so than the ones you have in the title. Just my opinion. Oh, by the way.....GOOD GOD THAT WOMAN IS HOT!!!! |

Well taken and very well lit.
I must admit to being put off a little by the amount of pubic area showing. I'm sooo not puritanical so it's not that - it just looks really odd in this particular image. I think I'd prefer pubic area covered or completely nude.
However, the part hidden part on display style works much better on the bosom area.
Great background and that beautiful dark sky and greenery really looks good against her skin. Is it real or a photo backdrop? Just curious.
This really isn't my cup of tea but I do think it's very well taken, so giving it a 9. |

06/17/2003 10:11:56 AM |
| My only question is, why is the background so ominously dark? It strikes me as odd, especially since the lighting on the model is flawless. I kinda wish she was wearing something slightly less revealing, but that's just me. Oh, and why the border? It goes well with the color of her bikini, but this isn't National Geographic. |

| maybe a little too much nipple and "love path" for stuff, but could certainly see it on a racier magazine cover. I love how you have gotten her skin to look so smooth, I guess that's the neat image. Composition is very nice, and I like the simple background, the blue looks good against the yellow. |

Oh dear, I'll never be able to think of trinity the same way again. = )
Just kidding. For what it is, it's well done. I particularly like how the sky is overcast in the background with what looks like stormy weather on the way. It's a nice change from the norm. This is probably one of the few shots I could actually see as making it onto a magazine cover. However, I think this style of photograph has a limited extent of artistic accomplishment, no matter how well you do it. (By that I don't mean nude or errotic photography, I mean cover girl straightforward pose cheesecake photography). So... how about a 7. |

06/13/2003 06:17:54 PM |
she's pretty, but her suit is not fitting her at all. see how her boob is falling out the bottom on the right side of the photo (her left boob). also, see how tight it is around the bottoms?? It's making an indent in her hip. not very attractive at all. it's like when a girls bra is too small, and it makes these ripples in her back. ugh.
Anyway, the shot is beautiful. it really is. the sky is perfect, the skin tones are really good, and she's fake looking enough to really be on the cover of a magazine.
Something else that is bothering me though, is this tiny mark above her strap on the bottoms. looks like a tattoo that was covered up, or like she missed a patch of hair when shaving or something. it's right above the little plastic circle on the left of her bottoms. (her right) Great shot anyway. |

I love how you got down and shot up making her bigger than all of the scrub and stuff behind her. Also the dramatic blue of the sky is awesome. Great lighting... everything is done really well here. You'll prolly get cut down by some for the nudity, but others will rate you up for it. I'm not offended, because I knew there was going to be some playboy stuff like this in this challenge. I don't specifically care for the border, I think it could have done without. Nice job though... and tell your model to call playboy ;-) |
