Expecting

Lovely image with a beautiful glow from all elements involved. Unfortunate that our society still cannot deal with the human body and a demure pose without indulging in puerile schoolboy commentary.

Apparently, some of us have never seen The Birth of Venus by Botticelli. How little we've matured in the ensuing 500+ years, eh?

Let's take it back further than that! Iin the old days, swapping wives and having sex with both male/female servants was considered 'the norm'. Frescos of sexual positions were typically found in living rooms too. Now that said, how would you take it if someone commented with something like "Beautiful pregnancy shot, and what a sexy view of her inner thigh; I'd love to see what her hand is hiding" - would you consider a comment like that inappropriate?

Also, art is all about perception - you can't tell people how to react to art. For me, this shot's caption is: "Hahaha, what if I try to pull the baby out of here now, in my back yard!?"

Hand on breast is holding the blouse open so you can see her belly. Hand in the lower region is covering herself. This wasn't supposed to be a "hot" photo, just a proud expectant mother showing off her beautiful baby belly.
