Many thanks Linda for your understanding and very knowledgeable comments on this photo. I did chose the "humor" category after much thought, and then thinking it would make the photo more acceptable to all, I chose it. I would have preferred your choice. The shadows were from store spot lights illuminating the tree. The photo was taken quickly, and as usual, with faith in the camera on total automatic mode. The best to you, Regards, Peter
I don't think it's inappropriate. You didn't create these figurines, as far as I know one can easily find such "naughty" statues, gods and goddesses in the Far East culture. Or shall we consider renessainnce paintings pornographic? I doubt it. As a photo I would say I can see some technical mistakes or I would've tried to take the picture in a different way (the big tree part on the left either should be in focus or should be cropped, it's somewhat disturbing as well as the shadows from the flash on the backrground). Considering the fact that you chose the "humor" category, not photo art, these are just my observations. Best regards.
My apology to you Darryl for offending you. This photo was taken in a import shop at Niagara Falls Ontario, where many tourists visit. To my surprise, they even still sold "Beanie Baby's".. To me, and probably to many tourists, there is a bit of humor here, some may see it, some not. If I get more complaints, I shall delete it. In the meantime, and seeing that your name is new to my photo comments, please view my pages and I would like very much your comments. Regards
