https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/48183227 I apparently emphasized Charlottes genitals - which are not visible in this image, nor is she posed in a way that would display her genitals except for intervening fabric, etc. - but I did violate another new rule, it seems. Thank you, but I'm not sure who the site, much less the forums, are intended to serve. The target consumer doesn't seem to be working and/or aspiring photographers, models, and other creatives any longer. I have a couple of last entries in the queue, if they find themselves in that rare and strange territory of acceptability. Of course, they're likely to be "too NSFW for POTD" and "not enough NSFW to get votes in POTD 18+." No longer fun. And by no means educational when even the disinformation is inconsistent. Yours, Bill Jan 20 24 02:03 pm Link As mentioned in a previous post here, labia are genitals, and labia are visible in the image you linked. Also her legs are wider than we allow with genitals visible. These are the reasons the image was disqualified from the contest.

Visible in this image: the portion of Charlotte's vulva properly labeled her mons pubis. No cleft, and therefore no labia. And I went back to the original on the hard-drive and zoomed in closely (300% on the 17-inch laptop screen on which I'm currently working.) on the 11.2 MB/4000x6016 pixel jpeg. (I'm not currently connected to the external hard-drive on which the RAW original resides.) Jan 20 24 03:36 pm Link You and I are in agreement that not all genitals are labia. I am able to see some cleft in the shadow. I believe that some of the model's right labia major is visible. I was not the only mod on the image-review team that saw this. I understand you see it differently. I would suggest any image one wants to submit to the contest where a model's legs are open/knees far apart, it would be good to check with the mod team before submitting.

The moderators are lazy and lack any customer service skillset other than to arbitrarily remove images. I will say that your moderator at least had the courtesy to try and explain his reasoning as weak as it may be. Jan 22 24 04:02 am Link |
