mmmmmm... I love artichoke

wow... THAT sure looks appetizing!

The high res probably isn't showing up because the image isn't big enough. Smaller images won't show high res. You could go into editing and enlarge it (to about 8 x 12 inches min), but that would probably increase the noise. Cool shot, though - they almost look like flowers

EEEEEEK! Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! (a movie sooo bad, it's good)

Yes, you can do minimal things like that. What you can and can't do are published in the guidelines.

interesting... thanks for sharing the info

I was thinking more along the lines of "stupid, and again stupid"

Cute... might play with brightness and contrast, and/or curves

Good advice

simply a medical fact... hopefully it makes some go "hmmmm" so they get checked out

That guy looks pretty good for 60+

Veggies don't get much fresher than that

Would be nice to cut extrememly thin and put on a lightbox to see the patterns better... But you can still see them. It is a little oof though

That's a happy looking baby

This does look like a "sweet kiss"

Nice... might want to play with curves and contrast a little

Might want to play with the contrast a little

Are you sure that's wax? Most of those large size dinosaur models aren't

I remember those. Always liked the juice, but never really liked chewing on the wax. Nice colors

Yep... I was right. Nice shot, lovely looking ladies

Redheads rock!

I bet I know whoi this is... if there's a family resemblance at least.

Interesting info... thanks

I never said you could "see" anything. Teen mags are irrelevant. If you want to raise your kids based on their values, have fun living in the world they create. I don't think I'm "overreacting" to anything. I'm not on some crusade to get this picture removed or anything. I simply made an observation. However, I do think it's kind of silly to deny the obvious focal point of the shot. Like I said... fine for adults. 12 year olds are inundated with enough already. Don't need it here too.

Eat the rich!

Sorry I struck a nerve. You're right. It's just my opinion. As I said, I have zero problem with this picture - for adults. If this is how you interpret love for your wife, that's your business. For me, I love my wife more for what she has between her ears than her legs. You downplay where the eye is drawn (my only point was for kids). The lines of the legs, as well as our subconscious, immediately draws the eye to one place - as evidenced by the comments "you can't see anything." How would you know if you didn't look? Personally, I tried to teach my sons NOT to look up women's dresses.

While I agree with your comments for adults, I hardly think a crotch shot is appropriate for the 12 and 14 year olds on here, aside from the inherent message of this shot about what "beauty" and "love" is. Maybe if it included the whole body, but it's obvious what the focus is here.

While I suppose this shot is fine for a husband and wife, I'm not sure it's appropriate for this site, which has children as members.

Yeah, I remember those as a kid too

Yes, a nice shot, but much more than the lips. You say yourself it was to show some jewelry

That's a nice shot

Yes. That IS very sad. My condolences.

Stylin shades!

Should have taken a step or two to the left... then we wouldn't see you in the reflection, but would still see the tower.

I think it's perfectly appropriate for this contest. Everyone seems to be interpreting it to mean show a picture of the woman you love, but it doesn't say that at all. That could be ONE way to interpret it, but this seems fine too.

Very nice... those look great at night

OK... now, inflate them!

I like the B&W

Nice, but there's a bit of noise

Which one's Mingus?

That's definitely an interesting path. Cool shot, but just a tiny bit oof

hrmmm, if you follow that street, towards the cell phone tower, it's more like "into the future."

I think there's a troll up around the corner

Nice job of not getting reflections etc. You might crop it a little more closely.

cool shot... I like the rust on the rail - it makes it more visually interesting

I don't know where Brasstown is, but this looks a lot like the landscape around where I live

wow... hard to imagine living your life there

I do! What are you doing on my property?! Maude, let the dog out!

Now THIS is a path! Good find, author. Not your standard empty sidewalk. Might play with the contrast just a little

Looks a lot like where I used to live in Wyoming. Where is this?
