I believe this is where we say "put up or shut up". If something is insufficiently artful (now there's a big call), show us how it's done.Quote:

As you should. The best part about opinions is that, unlike opposing facts, multiple opposing opinions are equally true.Quote:

But I did just buy an 8x10 to cut my teeth on. Can I get back to you on this?

Frankly, nudes is perhaps the most difficult of all photography genres to master, followed by still lifes. If I look at 100 seemingly mediocre nudes before finding one that stops me in my tracks, I consider that a pretty good average. My own attempts have been dismal failures that shall never again see the light of day.
