Glockman, seriously DO NOT AGREE. I guess you just don't get the fetish. (the Tie, the Hat) Just because of those two items and for the way it is posed. The fact you can't see her eyes also adds to the mystery and it's done just on the edge of censorship. It's the hat and tie that are a man's. A lot of men find women who dress up in men's clothes, especially there own, find it really arousing, and definite eye candy! I can recall Playboy doing spreads with the same idea.

Oh, I'm sure if my mother was a member, she'd flag it. She's such a prude...

Excellent shot... Glockman I'm curious if this is "not really that sexy" then what is?

I thought you were just born with magic or something. ANY of us can learn it from a book?! *gasp*

She looks fantastic for just having had a baby (I think I recognize that little smile). Or, If I'm wrong, she just looks fantastic. Congrats

Yes, there's no way you can fool us: your shots can be recognized at first sight!

This is well posed and the lighting is very well done, the lady has a great bod for sure,but in my opinion this is good artistic photograpy but really not that sexy. nice shot.

very cool shot...gl

wow...very cool...gl

wow...very cool...gl

Photo goddess...very well done author

Fabulous shot...best of luck

This is for sure eye candy...well done author

mmm, I wonder who's this might be...................stunning shot, well framed, lit, everything, well done author.

This image is well within the guides and rules....there is nothing offensive here.

I already knew before I voted. But something tells me it had to be done

Clever idea, author. GL!

Good one - nice lighting . Probably a little nit picky but I'm just not sure about the pose - it looks a little like someone is twisting her arms behind her back

Nicely done! 2 thumbs up!

Well Done author!

WOW! That's hot!

Fantastic shot, author !

This shot is within the rules........there is no explicit nudity here.

"I was under the impression that this type of shot would be acceptable"
I'm pretty sure it is acceptable. Like I said before, the rules and guidelines state no "explicit" nudity. Your entry is not "explicit" so it should be fine to stay up.

strange this is debated on some then some folks praise another that is very close to the same.
Both are fine imo.

I think we all knew who shot this one. Interesting that the point of focus seems to be on the writing of the camera strap, it certainly draws your eye there. As always, wonderful work with light and shadow!

No... your language was fine... I was just kidding

adeincyprus, I don't see them in ANY beach around here! Nor any of my connecting states.

angelicviolets...I thought the same thing too but I think the guidelines have changed because now it says in the rules "explicit nudity." If you look up "explicit nudity" online, you'll find that it means that the genitals are uncovered also (genitals are reproductions organs). Only the nipples are showing here and they're not a reproductive external organ.

A very sexy photograph.... YES.....but there is nudity which is against this contest rules...You are able to see the whole breast including nipple which is considered nudity... I am not a prude by any means and this photo is awesome but in all fairness to everyone else the breasts should not be shown uncovered.

you see way more than this on any beach.........so where is the problem?

Knew this was your's

I knew this had to be your's

I liked it better last night as far as family friendly goes (because I'm a prude) but I like it better today because it looks more natural with a nipple.
Sometimes I wonder how this can be a family friendly site with nudity like this, but it doesn't change the fact that this image is sexy and very well photographed.
