It is sad that the straw-man arguments about child porn so often defer to these clearly innocent, not at all purient, pictures of children. But so often these argumetns are used as a continuing perjorative against any morality imposed on an art expression. Let us not take the side of defending

I think this is well executed on your part. Turning her head in a bit more and perhaps using a slightly longer lens would have helped flatten out her nose. The position of her left arm may be a bit awkward, but I guess she's shielding her breast. If I was going to crop her left elbow, I might

Wow! Great shot. What would I have done differently? Nothing substantial in terms of exposure, composition, framing, or subject matter. But I would have cheated. I would have cloned out a couple of the little defects on the leaves. No one would ever have known g. Paul On Apr 12, 2004, at 3:17

PAW: Downtown LA

Yes, LA does have a downtown, although most Angelenos don't go there. And while most of what I shot during my last trip to lala land is mountains, flowers, beaches, and bikinis, I shot a few things downtown as well. This was from the roof of the Standard Hotel at twilight.
