There are good nudes and bad nudes just like there are good landscapes and bad landscapes and anything else being photographed. Yes, I agree that there are a lot of boring nudes out there but I just think it's because there is a lot of boring photography in general out there. Great art is not easy to do.

I took figure drawing 1, 2 and 3 in college to learn how to draw people. I'm not a prude but I have never shot a nude with a camera because I have never wanted to. I also don't do macro work. There is nothing wrong with either one and I enjoy other people's work but it's just not what I'm interested in doing myself.
