Second, am I the only one who thinks its nasty? I, like Cathyml, just don't quite get it. Picture by Victor Naumenko

It was the subject matter that we didn't like, as opposed to the picture. Should I contact him, do you think? |

I don't know who removed it and I hope it wasn't Victor thinking he had upset us, but I suppose it was. I re-read my post and you can actually read into it that I am upset, but not so, I was referring to the person responsible for the piece of artwork (if thats what you can call it). It's a great picture/capture! So Victor, please don't be offended, it's been a good conversation piece, and Sue if you want to reload it, why not? Maybe a PM to Victor will resolve it Sue? |
