Response to Predudice against erotica at this forum? A response...

from Allan Engelhardt (allane@cybaea.com)

There are some deep and serious thoughts in this thread which I will not even attemt to comment on. Just two points:

  1. There used to be a prejudice (as you know): see this post for the change.
  2. I personally set much higher standards for nudes and erotic images. I think I'm not alone in this matter. This may give rise to a feeling that there is a prejudice against erotica.

So I don't think there is a prejudice againts erotica as such, but, for example, I would not consider your image in this thread to be of high enough standard. (You can't have an image of a beautiful woman end in an amorpheous (sp?) blob -- give us some detail! You also need something in that window -- try to plant (!) a nice autumn tree there: lots of colouts to contrast with the almost monochrome silhouette of the woman. Tidy up the composition a bit.) Needless to say, your images are better than anything I have ever done, but then I don't post erotica.

(No! I'm not prejudiced, honest!)
