In theory I would agree with you, and it's the reason I post the occasional photo here (I think I've posted only about two photos in the past 5 years, now I remember why) except that in practice it's always the same few people who comment, and if it happens to be a nude, they won't like it. So from a market research angle, it doesn't always work. I know how you feel about nudes and rocks, at least I get them to pose in uncomfortable positions to add some freshness to the genre! ;-) -dan c.
