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.
I hate to prolong this but do want to set the record somewhat
straight. I commented on this photo; I usually don't. I happen to
like nudes and have never posted a negative review simply because it
is a nude. I think the reviews that mention nudity have been in the
minority. This comment is just to further the market research
aspect of this thread. We have touched personal issues here; let's
move on. Dan, I would value a comment from you about my photo
involving snow in next week's gallery. And I am not being facetious
or sarcastic.

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!

I like this comment. I think it shows more of the real Dan Cardish.
Keep posting and keep commenting. Please.

Several years back I came to the realization that, regardless of what
I thought about the photo, the comments here were useful as market
research, giving the perspective of people other than me and my
immediate circle. That doesn't mean I have to agree, but it does
mean I can find out what types of people like and don't like my work.
I have a pretty good handle on that now - I've found that my
photographs appeal to specific age, sexual orientation, and location
characteristics.
As for the photo, my big problem with it is that I have never
understood the nudes and rocks thing.
