Check out my newest picture and tell me if you think it is offensive...OMP banned by photographer from putting it up.  I know it is really in your face, but that's what it's supposed to be.

so..............................?

im not allowed to talk about OMP, since i have been banned.
but, if your going to do a shot called "attitude", then give it some attitude... yell, scream, something other than no expression at all.

Hmmm... I looked at your MM portfolio, and I am guessing that you took the offensive images down before I had a chance to look at them.

Which rule put down by MM doesn't allow to show models with attitude and raised middle fingers?

its a middle finger,  no biggie.
if omp wants to have images with girls spread eagle and not have images of a finger, thats their call.
i cant really say anymore.

Let me play devils advocate here. I have brought this up a few times when I see flip off shots. I think it is a lil strange that we can show flip off shots, but can not type out what it really means without being banned. So, I guess as long as you are saying it in sign language, its ok? lol

Well... isn't THAT the image in question with the raised middle finger?

Or is that a weird goatier growing out of your chin, which was photoshopped away in the other images?

I don't see anything offensive.

It's a great shot. I'm reallly surprised they took it down.

(BTW, I'm not sure subtleness is a word...but "subtlety" is)

Well... displaying "attitude" in an image is different from cussing someone out in the forums.

In all honesty, I like that shot.  I don't see  how other sites could find it offensive.  As someone else stated, there have been crotch shots more offensive than this.  I say keep it up.  Some people can't pull off the finger (I can't haha!), and you pulled it off great!

OMP does not allow the middle finger on their site, I watched someone else get reprimanded over that.

What's the point in the first place?  I think it just messes up an otherwise good image (that and the background).

The image did not wake me up or generate any feeling but sympathy.

I have others from the shoot. This is just the first one up - they're coming!

I just wanted to know if this image seemed too offensive, that's all

Something wrong with the background? It was planned that way.

It's a matter of contrast.  The viewer's eye automatically goes first to the brightest or darkest area of the image.  Plus it's just not attractive.
