While this photo in and of its self would not be considered child pornography it is disturbing to me that a parent would let a complete stranger take their child's photo nude and then post it on a web site. If those parents knew what perverts do while looking at photos such as this I believe they would not have given you permission. I worked in law enforcement for 25 years and spent 18 years as a child abuse investigator and have seen what perverts do. Parents please think beyond the here and now...try to think about all the possiblities (positive and negative).
I am not a "nude prude". I believe nude can be art. I have a nude in my portfolio...but it is not a child...it is an adult. There are boundaries. |

Sweet shot, processing, presentation. I guess I'm naive to a fault-- I can understand how this picture could be taken the wrong way but to me it seems very innocent. phylsy7 makes a good point but without you sharing that part of the story, the viewer is left to assume that you have a close relationship with the child and her parents. Dunno, can't really explain my reaction...

| I have revisited this photograph a number of times over the course of the week, and here we are at the end I am still unsure about my feelings towards it. To be honest, I do find the photo somewhat unsettling. The effect of the pose and style of processing give the image a whimsical feel, part Cicely Mary Barker, part Midsummer Night's Dream, and yet at the same time there is a hint of knowingness, even of eroticism that I am very uncomfortable with. There seems to be something of a dichotomy within the image, and certainly in my reaction to it. |

| I wonder how the voters will take her being naked. I think it was risky and doesn't add anything to the shot. Perhaps it even takes away from her adorable face and that HAT. |

| One of my favorites for the challenge. The edit is subtle and very effective and overall the image invokes a very warm and pleasants response from me, the viewer. I do wonder if it will be received fairly by an element that may consider the nature of the subject disturbing and show their displeasure with a barrage of low, lower, lowest votes... I've always had a hard time relating to that mindset and look forward to seeing how this plays out. |
