Sorry about the negative comment about your hairy belly. I considered deleting it but decided to be bold at the risk of offending you (as you were similarly unconcerned with the risk of offense by publishing this shot in a public forum.) I just think shots suggesting urination are gross and in bad tastein a public forum. However, if you must do a urination shot, I suppose an old/dirty toilet is more appropriately gross and consistent with your theme than a new/clean one. Same with a hairy belly vice a smooth one (though that's personal taste). Why not go the rest of the way and use a model with a huge beer gut and warts?

Originally posted by aliqui: It's funny how many people hate this photo for its content. There's a simular photo in the spots challenge right now that features a female. I bet it's doing pretty damn well. Granted it doesn't have the dirty looking toilet, heh.

I have to disagree with you aliqui. This is nothing like the "similar" picture in the spots competition (which shows a frontal view of a woman's jeans unzipped to reveal spotted panties). I mean, if the fact that they both show frontal views of unzipped blue jeans and underwear beneath makes these photos similar, well, I disagree. Look at what you've got in this picture, a hairy belly, a half hard-on, and the clear message that he's about to pull out his penis and take a piss in that dirty toilet. The mental picture is not pretty. Now compare that to the picture of the polka dot panties. No nasty belly hair, no filthy toilet, no suggestion of urination. Take that same shot with a man and you might have something that heterosexual woman or gay men would find sexy. Moreover, the polka-dot panty picture is taken from the perspective of someone who seems to be kneeling in front of the woman and therefore suggests that the viewer has opened the jeans for his or her own purposes. (Though I admit that as a heterosexual male, I may find this more appealing/enticing than a heterosexual female or a gay male). Contrast that with the perspective of this picture where it is clearly the subject of the picture that is exposing himself for the viewer to see. This one has a "flasher" aspect to it that is exacerbated by the filthy toilet. At base, I think that you could have taken that polka-dot panty picture with a man, instead of a woman, and not have had the negative results that Patmania got with this one. Similarly, you could easily make a picture of this type with a woman about to take a piss and I think you'd get similarly negative results.

I think this should have ribboned. It's interesting to see what people like.

I am just amazed by what a great photographer you are! You are only 16 years old and already so damn good! You have a gift for this. I am 41 and will never be as good as you are now. Keep it up. You will be a famous photographer someday.

Not fair! I always want to give naked women a 10. Especially when they have pierced nipples!

I think this shot, combined with the title, is very powerful.

Is this a color picture of a black and white subject? Nice, though.
