Normally I wouldn't apologize for offending anyone but since I am a new member of this community I feel it is apporopiate for me to do so.
I apologize If I did indeed offend anyone. That was not my intent.
First, for the record, the WOMAN in the photo is of age, she is 21.
Secondly, I choose to do this photograph after reading a few post here on how cliche flower pics are. I did it as a play on cliches.
Third, as for the focus, it was thrown off deliberately by using black panty house stretched over the lense. As for the color, what can I say, I'm a newbie.
I didn't want to give a bad first impression, but perhaps it is too late for that.
You shouldnt be apologizing for this pic, there is nothing offensive that I can see. I rated the shot a 5 based on the technical aspects of it. I felt the focus to be too soft, the skin color too orange, and felt a real flower would have been a better alternative. I didnt see any comments really reflecting the nudity, but I think the 1's that you may have received were more on the tech side of the shot. If you look at the winning photo, which I gave a 10, there are two 1 votes. Your never going to figure out how people vote here..keep submitting, and good luck.
Seems like there were many more comments about the fake flower than the nudity... not to mention that I don't see anything posted about the age of the model...?
There wasn't anything in the comments that I'm repsonding too. There was another forum message that prompted me to post this. Thanks for responding all!
