 Over the last 23 days several DPC members have been participating in a Self Portrait 30 day challenge.

Most of us have reached a stage where we are starting to struggle...and many are starting to show signs of discomfort amongst ourselves. Whether that is distaste in our bodies, our minds, our abilities or our strength to keep going.

We are all experiencing this.

So I decided to do a montage of poses from this morning to show that the human body is beautiful in no matter what form or angle, with or without clothes. Now before anyone says "Yeah but with your body, anyone can look beautiful". Well stop right there. There are parts of me that I do not like and anyone who knows me can attest to that. But I am still willing to share myself with you all in a way that is just bare all. Give me credit for that....please.

So people...it's time to feel good....look at yourself and say "Yeah....I am okay. I am beautiful. I am me!"

Go on...you can do it.


2 hours later, I posted this in the SP thread-

I would like to say a VERY BIG THANKYOU to the three people who put in complaints to SC about my thumbnail of todays Self Portrait being too rude. There have been other nude SP's shown in this thread from others and no complaints were made to my knowledge, and they were not hidden. I have always covered mine just to keep you friggin prudes happy...this one time I didn't as I felt it was so small that it couldn't offend anyone surely.

I even wrote in the about how everyone should be happy with themselves and how they look and this is how I get repaid. My thumbnail gets removed by SC because of the offensive nudity.

HOW DARE YOU! Yes, I am angry.

There are some nudes on here showing genitalia and yet they don't get removed. Why don't you complaining prudes get out of my face and grow up.

And for the ones that do want to see my image then please click on the thumbnail below. Yes I covered it myself just to shut you complainers up. But don't look as it might be just to hideous!

And if you think this post doesn't belong here...well I am referring to the SP challenge...so back off!! I am not thread hijacking!

Thanks a friggin lot!

Judi, I don't know what is wrong with these turkeys, but your form is great and I only look forward to seeing more of it NOT less. As you can see, there is a great deal of support so keep going the way you are.

Man, if this is annoying people, I don't know what wouldn't. I hope they are staying away from all beaches and pools.

To me, this is a beautiful study of the female form, pure and simple.

Another fantastic image! I cannot believe some people, prudes as you put it, could possibly take offense. In most thumbnails you can barely make out what the image is about, and you don't HAVE to click it and bring up the full image.

Very well done again Judi!

I think this is a wonderful montage Judi. Love the top middle and bottom right especially. Love the shadows- hate the prudes!!.

Great Photo Judi. Too bad people go out of their way to look for something to complain about.

Beautifully done. Since you're getting hit anyway, forget about pleasing the unpleasable... remove the hand. ;0)

Lovely series. I would have gone with only the top-middle one. It has such an elegant balance to it. Sorry about the drama, it wasn't deserved.

This is actually pretty tame compared to lots of nudes on DPC. I dunno what's going on with the prudes on DPC lately but it's getting ridiculous.

On a more technical point of view, the background is a tad too close you and you don't get the separation between subject and background.

The top center shot is pure art! Love the sentiment too, my dear. These are terrific!!

Very nice shots. I like how the lighting creates the shadows.

Lovely. Two and five are particularly beautiful. Because nude? Maybe. But moreso because they look very soft and vulnerable, and the shadows and highlights are breathtaking. Beatiful photograph, nice message.

Don't expect me to imitate this. It's not your birthday.

Lovely montage, Judi. However, you are STILL hiding your face... ;)
