Story: Sorry, but this is a set-up. I live in Oman; a Muslim country on the Arabian Peninsula. We don't have nude beaches here. My brother gave me the sign as a gift several years ago and my wife and I have fun with it from time to time. Anyway, I drove to a nearby beach, put up the sign, added the wine bottle and glasses and swimsuits, and was fortunate-enough to have two people snorkling in the background. Just as I finished, the Royal Oman Police drove up to see what I was up-to! Luckily, I had just taken the sign down and put the wine away. They might not have seen the humor in what I was doing! Of course, a picture of THAT conversation would have told a good story in and of itself! |

brilliant shot .. it definitely tells a story ..
i read your photographer's comments .. i feel very lucky to live in australia because we have more freedom to take pics ..!!!.
BUT .. at our local mall which has some great things to photograph with perspective, ppl and heaps of interesting angles and shapes .. well i've been told to put my camera away several times .. i have to be sneaky .. but i only get a warning .. which isnt too scarey and they're usually pretty nice about it .. :)
it would be quite a culture shock going from springfield, virginia to Senegal ... i cant imagine the amazing photographic opportunities you'll get on your travels ..
thankyou so much for all your comments .. :) |

| Great story here... I feel like technically the photo could have been done a bit better. The slight tilt of the horizon especially bothers me... I also wish the girl had been closer so you could have seen her better... as my eyes go right to the sign, and she's an afterthought. |
