if someone could provide me with a valid reason for this images's removal from the artistic nude pool, this will be my last time re-adding it. I just don't understand how it doesn't fit the rules of the pool.

"Artistic nude"

so I have 2 options for you

1. you are trolling
2. you have bad taste, really bad taste I say

choose one

P.S: im not the one removing this pic from the pool

"For posts with nudity that are not meant to be erotic, but show the beauty of the human body. Expect a lot of questionable rated art."

it would seem that it's not meant to be erotic. It's also an attempt to show the beauty of the human body.

trolling? no
bad taste?... ok, maybe. but pardon me for seeing the beauty in this image

but to each his own and all that noise

ok, Im not good at describing stuff but I will try.
The problem is, she looks kinda fat, the coloring is way too... simple, "casual". the pose itself isnt bad, but seeing only her back wont show much things. And I dont find chubby girl "beautiful", possibly thats your personal taste.

maybe I will bump this and see how other people comment on it. But i agree with anyone who removing this from the pool

The chubbiness from her legs and butt is like an 17th century nude or whatever, so I can see the artistic there. but then her... love handles? Just look like an error, or that she is super fat. Then yeah, the coloring isn't really detailed enough to be 'artistic'

While posters are entitled to their opinions on whether a piece is of good quality/tasteful/etc. I'd say that whether a piece is an "artful nude" or not should be at least a little more objective.

In this case, I'd say that since it really seems to lack any sort of obvious attempts to make this nudity "erotic," I'd say it's artistic. Of course, I could also see why some people could find it erotic, but that's a whole other can of worms.

so Dr Fine Rolo and I agree that this one shouldn't be a part of the pool, while clever name here and BakaHoushi disagree with us

bump for more votes

and please do it fast, i hate being serious about things around me...

Leave it in.
I don't like it, but it has generated enough debate to be declared artistically valid.

Samus86, please just let it go

It's been re-added,since it supposedly fits the pool's criteria of:

For posts with nudity
that are not meant to be erotic,
but show the beauty of the human body.

The last 2 are quite subjective,but that's no reason to remove it either,unless the pool's creator thinks so too

If anyone disagrees (as seen from the edit history),you can discuss it on the forums

(Please note that I neither like nor dislike the picture;it's a public pool after all)
