One good reason

Sat Oct 31, 2009, 8:38 AM



Normally, I don't complain about the high volume of bad daily deviations, especially since I was so kindly and undeservingly awarded with one last year (honored as I am, personally I don't think it's good enough to be a DD).
But I just couldn't take it anymore after I saw this today:

There is nothing special about this photo other than the fact that she has her tits out.
I tried hard to find something DD worthy of this photo, but as I studied the photo and browsed through the comments, I realized that the people who are most enjoying this are the guys getting a stiffy from seeing a naked woman carve a pumpkin.
I could understand the decision if perhaps the photo were well done, or had some spark of life in it, but it's a very plain dull picture that anyone with Polaroid could shoot.
The daily deviations are littered with nudes that are claimed to be chosen because of how incredibly artistic they are, but we all know its bullshit to cover up the fact that the only reason it was featured is because it's erotic to some.
Now. I'm not saying nudes are bad. Take a quick browse through my favorites and you'll see how much I enjoy the nudes, BUT there are an enormous amount of them that are really unnecessary to feature as a DD.

If someone can give me one GOOD reason as to why this should be featured, then I'll shut up, pack up my soapbox and go have a soak in the tub.


PS: Before you start screaming at me, I must tell you that I'm NOT against the artist that took this. I think his work is good for what it is, and still rather unique. It's THIS ONE PHOTO that I'm talking about, NOT the artist himself. Thank you. You may resume the stone throwing.

I FUCKING TOTALLY AGREE. Tits and ass and gore get you DD's.

I know violence isn't the answer. I got it wrong on purpose.

I agree, I don't see how it is special or deserving of a DD at all. Nothing against the artist though.

The quality of the digital scan is horrid, and you are right, it doesn't deserve a DD as is.

even a higher quality scan, its still snap-shotty..

I gave a DD out on halloween once, it wasn't a street shot, because I couldnt find a worthy one..

Horribly intrusive watermarks are tacky. If you're concerned about people stealing your photos, don't post them on the internet.

Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. (HCB)
