Ez tényleg nagyon érdekes kép, főleg ha arra gondolok, hogy abban az időben milyen "szűz" életet éltek az emberek... no de nem a franciák! ;o)

Hát érdekes volt nézni az emberek reakcióit, főleg azokét akik párban sétálgattak. Kész lélekbúvári feladat felmérni a párok közötti viszony mélységét, milyenségét abból, ahogy a kép előtt, közelében viselkedtek. Nem mertem őket megörökíteni, de talán egy kandi kamerás film témája is lehetne.

It is very difficult to say that a 'work of art' is offensive. However, there are some people in the world that might find this offensive and since we have a lot of people from all around the world on here I'm sure this is offensive to some. Perhaps 'works of art' are meant to be seen by those that would go to a museum and are expecting this type of nakedness in paintings etc.

Perhaps we should keep in mind our audience here and let everyone enjoy themselves by sharing their photos and not having to worry about being offended.

I hope I have not offended you by sharing my thoughts on this great piece of work.

Oh yes, maybe it is too direct, and we are different. Fortunately the picture is beautiful, and anyone could cover it with the flag. You are right, it is not for everyone, especially not for children. But it is only a picture in oil, and nothing like a porno, or other disgusting thing.
