    David, I am seriously impressed by this shot.
    It was not only excellently taken but superbly presented as well.

    You have set the “creativity” bar very high with this one.

    This one is in my top ten shots on PI without doubt.

    Hi David,

    I’ve come back to these a few times too,
    but its your reference to the tampon on the floor which has finally forced a comment-

    I can’t see it,
    and it shows the dangers of forming an opinion of an image based on a low res reproduction-

    Regarding the montage,
    I find it just a little bit disjointed,
    although undoubtedly, that was your intention.

    I think I would tend to side with Rob and Pete regarding the images,
    but only if was forced to choose a side in the first place-
    and again, I can’t see them with enough clarity-

    Either way, I’m sure it looks better as an original piece on a wall-

    I can’t see the tampon either. Thank goodness for small mercies.

    graham – what can is say sir :-) , i am flattered and honored that you like it that much .. many thanks

    jb7 – the tampon is small, and would probably only be discovered on looking at the image for a length of time, (at full res) … however the fact that most people will not see it at first look was also deliberate – (without getting too arty ;-) ) .. i wanted people to see different things in this image – perhaps have an initial gut reaction, but on closer inspection discover more.

    i am immensely gratified that you guys are taking the time to come back to this image – to me that means a lot – whether you like it or not – i am glad that it provokes opinions and i welcome them all

    many thanks

    This looks tawdry, smutty and very close to being against the rules of the site even though it’s a very impressive piece of photographic art I don’t like it myself

    as i said earlier, i was a bit nervous about posting it here as i was aware it was perhaps borderline, and i am more than happy to take it down if it breaks the rules or is felt not to be in keeping with the ‘spirit’ of this site.

    i welcome all points of view bjorn and i am sorry that you find it tawdry and smutty, neither of those things were my intention, provocative perhaps but if this is coming across as ‘cheap’ then i have failed

    Oh wouldn’t worry too much about it David…I think Bjorn secretly admires this shot ..and not just from a photographic art point of view… :D

    Just my gut feeling :wink:

    Dave we all have our fans and our critics. I wouldn’t take it down at all.
    It’s a great shot is well deserving of the webspace.

    Dave,

    As far as I’m concerned the image is absolutely fine.
