If you find I've left a comment about a photo being more appropriate in another category than "Artistic Nude", it's not a personal attack. The GMs over the years have been clear about what belongs in Artistic Nude, and if I made a comment about your submission, it's because I feel that under the guidelines the AN GMs have made, your photo(s) belong in a different category.

Now, people will have two reactions when I do this. They either say "oh, I had no idea my photo which shows part of a butt cheek could go in glamor" and the tone of their reply ranges from indifferent to appreciative. Then there are those who react as if I just took a kitten and threw it off a tall building. "HOW DARE YOU SAY THIS WOMAN IN A THONG BIKINI IS NOT AN ARTISTIC NUDE! I WILL KILL YOU WITH DEATH!" and then block me from even being able to reply. I suspect those types of people are the ones who are using the Artistic Nude category as a vehicle to gain more views by trying to use faux nudity as a way to attract people.

The Artistic Nude GMs have been very careful in explaining what does and does not belong in AN. You may dislike that I point out your work is better placed elsewhere, but more than likely a GM will agree with me. Like it or hate it, you may find your submission is moved regardless of how you feel about my comments.

Here's the links to the Artistic Nude GMs journals regarding what does and does not belong in the Artistic Nude category in case you think I'm making this stuff up:
