For me, the attraction is in the model's obvious finer points. 
But that's really it. There's nothing else that lures in. Competently done, but boring.

Well said indeed. What makes for 'good' photography and what makes for 'bad' photography?
Every photograph speaks differently to different people. Sometimes, how other people view one's photographs is not a big concern to the photographer (although it is interesting to know how others view one's work). I often see photography as a part of myself, or if you like, as an extension of myself. It is as much about people getting to know me as it is about getting to know myself..... at least that is what i have been experiencing lately......

After a talk with my companion, and further thinking, I think I should reddress my former post.
First, art is a very wide spectrum with form on one extreme and contents, or significance, on the other. Much of art is void of contents but pure form, leaving us astonished by the armony or pace or originality, etc. In photography for example there is a celebrated pic by Kertecz of his model with a disarticulated pose over a sofa, which long time ago I dissected from a book and framed. Are there any contents ? I don't think so, but the armony and originality in that disarticulation, plus some gadgets, made this picture a masterpiece for me, bringing me pleasure to look at, over and over. This is a fact, there is art void of contents.
Taking this into consideration, it seems me ruthless to me my previous assertion that you must be a genious to try your skills in form art.
The other point my companion elucidated for me, refers to the nudity of the human body as seen by the ancient Greek sculptors, who believed the human body is the most perfect creation of Nature. Not a bad point at all, and several portfolios of our controversial photographer seem indeed to emulate such viewpoint with original new forms.
Hmmm, refreshing and interesting thread.
Cheers,

What I'm curious about is just how in tarnation did the OP find this masterpiece.???!
Was it a Google search, just initiated to "pass the time 'o day"?
"HUGE BREASTS"?
"NUDE GIRLS"?
[SIZE=-1]“Curiouser and curiouser!” Cried Alice [/SIZE]

All I know is, whilst you lot are here debating on how to rate a photograph, HATAIIIA HATA!!!A (for it is he or she) is somewhere else, taking pictures of beautiful curvy women with fantastic breasts......
Despite the debate, only one person has the right answer
