I find it a great shot, provoking though. And I'm a parent, and I wouldn't mind if my kids see a couple of breasts... it's nature in the end, beauty, pleasure... imho it's MUCH worse when they see bombings and war victims on the CNN... much worse...

Whose hands are these? ;o)

I don't think it's inappropriate or over the top for this challenge. And perfectly on topic ;-)

I was wondering who would address "pair" with female breasts (ok and hands) it certainly comes to mind when you say the word. I do not think the work "nasty" and see the artistic take on the shot. Personally, I do not like how warm/brown it is and the suffering feel to the pose. Yvonne

I would have thought this is an adult’s forum Techo. Any visual arts forum is open to all sorts of images that may not be suitable for kids. It can get pretty bland & boring here sometimes as it is, so making it kid friendly is out of the question. We only have to worry about what may be offensive to other adults & this shot shouldn't upset too many here as it's probably the most artistic shot of the challenge. It's only silly comments that could turn this into something rude, not the picy itself.

sorry if I sounded a bit harsh there. Will take another look at the photo with a fresh eye, tommorow .

I have to be frank. This one is not as tastefully done as one of your other nudes

I'm not a parent myself yet, but would not like my under aged kids seeing pics like these. This is just on the borderline or even a tad over it. I dont find the pose of the lady attractive or elegant in any way. I'm sure many parents post here and maybe even browse the galleries together with their kids.

Yes, I did get pictures without the hands but I didn't want to shock any of the viewers here. My girlfriend didin't like me to post those either so I'll keep them for our own private collection.
