Thank you for your comments about this DQ..it strikes me as funny that such a "little" thing would result in a dq...but hey the rules are there.. and I just hadn't considered this to be obscene...o well!

This is a classic example of the DPC double-standard nudity rule.

You can have all the vaginal bush you want, but *one* penis, and BOOM you're gone.

Puritanism gone awry...NOTHING wrong at all with this photo, nothing obscene, nothing inappropriate.

It's a pretty good shot. Forget the DQ. Captures the feeling of the event. Can't see that happening in NYC anytime soon.

Interesting image. Looks like they're having fun. I can see why you desaturated it. This one violates the rules but the two tiny violations probably couldn't be considered a major element. ;)
