This is a joke from me... don't care about the score though it will be bad to get lower avg. score.
The holy place in this photo is of course the center of all women bodys where no one can get to on a nun... note sure that people will like this at all ... hard to understand and of course some catholic people that will give it a 1 so bottom 10 is my guess. By the way then this is a last minute submit.

Hurray for your originality. I think it's really clever and "out of the box."

This shot may benifit from contrast, maybe some curves. I like the shot, and understand why people are offended...but I dont think they have the right to be rude.

I think you knew there would be some backlash, so its no big deal. You are talented, you will get a ribbon soon I am sure.

You obviously upset the bigoted cultists ;)

I gave you a 7. I did knock a point or two off portraits if they didn't depict a place...

yikes!

Not sure where the 'places' part of the challenge comes into play here. A hip?

thats one terrific shot, but it could be alot better without the thong (it sort of ruins it), because the face really strikes the veiwer.

Nice picture; why the asterisk?

Hmmmm! Very interesting image for sure! Is that a bad 'habit' or another wardrobe malfuntion?? :)
Well done!

You'll probably get crucified on this, but it's great "outside the box" thinking. Pretty well executed too. The hood appears a bit overexposed and oversharpened. Great composition.

Very irreverent. Reminds me of a 60's poster of a nun with a Che tattoo between her breasts. Make up is a bit over and the whites are overexposed. The haughty smile is right on. 8

The photographer in me gives this a 5. The Catholic in me gives this a 1. Overall, 3.

I am surprised that more people didn't take this tack on the idea, but I think it would have looked better with more porcelain-ey skin at the thigh. Ohh, and it would have been cooler if the robes were just parted to show whats underneath instead of displaying it so candidly

Man I love controversial shots! Goes without saying that this is a great, original idea. Hope the conservatives aren't beating you up to badly. What an expression...

Had to laugh when I saw this and enjoyment is worth a good score alone.

I like it. Limited DPC voters gonna crucify you for this!

Are you kidding me? This is just insulting to me, I'm sorry.
05/11/2006 10:08:52 AM
highlights blown out, poor taste.

"Ackkk! Argh! (*Choke*) What profanity is this that I see? Must be work of the devil!!!"

LOL - that was, I am sure, the most common reaction to your pic. I like it!! Extra kudos for courage, submitting something like this here on DPC...

Ignoring the fact that a nun is not a "place", the photo is just way too blown out.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/10/2006 10:58:50 PM
Interesting idea, but the complete lack of detail in the black cloth (and much of the white too) is a problem
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/10/2006 07:43:31 PM
risky!
05/10/2006 07:27:48 PM
Umm.. hm... I guess it's a holy place.

I'm not Catholic, but I find this very offensive.
05/10/2006 01:20:26 PM
This photo offends me.
05/10/2006 11:58:10 AM
I'm not even Catholic and I don't like where you've taken this...
05/10/2006 11:42:17 AM
Brave ;-) Well executed too.
05/10/2006 10:26:31 AM
Well, what can I say about this one (I am trying to comment on all of the images). As a female I am not attracted to this, it is a blatant set-up and a bit silly, in my opinion. Might work better in a humour challenge.

Clever :) Some people will be offended, I'm sure. I like it.
