She's lying on her side.

Ana said 1132 days ago:

aw

Ana said 1132 days ago:

(oh, that's what it is??)

George said 1132 days ago:

Ha ha ha! How *cheeky* of you! Ha ha ha ha!! This can only be Thelma...or King...or Vernon...or...

George said 1132 days ago:

King!! Ha ha ha!!! Thanks for the great laugh!!! If this doesn't get featured I'll eat my hat. Speaking of which, hats off to your *very* gracious model with the flattering tush.

King said 1132 days ago:

George, I hate to break this to you, but these are breasts--see the nipple there in the shadow? Maybe "tush" means "breast" in Costa Mesa.

You'll note my first comment (ridiculed by Ana), which was meant to clear up any confusion created by the pose, with my model lying at 45 degrees from the vertical.

kyla said 1132 days ago:

What body part is that on???

King said 1132 days ago:

I just knew this would be confusing. Her head is toward the right of the photograph. Her nightgown is unbuttoned down the front, which is on the diagonal in this photograph.

The Post-It note is on her right breast. Her right nipple is in the shadow of the nightgown at top, left of center. Her right breast is bottom right, forming a bit of cleavage with the left breast.

Having to explain it takes all the fun out of the shot, but I knew I was in trouble before I posted (pun intended) this.

Sorry to confuse.

King said 1132 days ago:

It's late. I'm going to bed, where my model is waiting. I'll be interested to see how many more people I will have (unintentionally) confused by morning. Hey, maybe that's a good thing.

Sleep tight, all.

George said 1132 days ago:

Okay, so I guess I'm the ass. Hasn't been the first time. Won't be the last. Well, anyway, tush, breasts, whatever. I don't think explaining has taken anything out of it at all. In fact, it's made me appreciate it all the more. From the thumbnail itself I was coming more from the rear, so to speak. Ha ha.

CraigMartin said 1132 days ago:

Not sure what to make of this one...strange choices in composition.

CraigMartin said 1132 days ago:

I should have known!!

philippe said 1132 days ago:

Hahahahahahahaha!!! 5s! At least, I hope this one will be featured...

philippe said 1132 days ago:

It does look like a breast, if you look carefuly, you perverts!

Montage said 1132 days ago:

Haha!

beckn32 said 1132 days ago:

The tone is nice, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

beckn32 said 1132 days ago:

I thought it was buttocks also, but I've been set straight now.

psychodudu said 1132 days ago:

This get's 25, mainly because I want to see it on the front page. And I'm kinda wondering if I already know who's image this is...

psychodudu said 1132 days ago:

Well it's certainly NOT your set of cheks, King. I think you knew who people would suspect this was when you posted this, you sly old dog! You certainly do know how to play the game. Congrats on a definite 2nd feature!

psychodudu said 1132 days ago:

OK, I fell for it too. George and I obviously haven't seen enough of them recently...boobs I mean...lol! Back to top form then, old man?

Ana said 1132 days ago:

I didn't ridicule you. It seems a lot of folks were confused, .... why did you say that I ridiculed you?

Dare I open my mouth, ever?
I'm not even going to say what I thought I was looking at the first time, OR the second time.

King said 1132 days ago:

Thanks, folks, for all the friendly comments and high ratings on my humorous WS valentine. It won't get featured and I didn't expect it to.

[FYI for those interested in the rating phenomenon}: If some of you assigned 25's, other raters obviously low-balled this one:
* Relevance: 3.13
* Impact: 3.19
* Composition: 3.27
* Technique: 3.47
* Quality: 3.67
* Overall: 3.346

King said 1132 days ago:

Ana,
You can write anything you like regarding my images, I've said that in public before, but if you are going to leave cryptic comments, "(oh, that's what it is??)," then you leave your words open to unintended interpretations.

Knowing that I'm in disfavor with you, I assumed your remark to be mocking. Whatever your intention, that's how I perceived it.

You're being a bit of a drama queen--"Dare I open my mouth, ever?" and I expect you now to say that you were just kidding.

Write what you like. I value your many contributions to W.S.

King said 1132 days ago:

Blizzard,
If I make you smile, then life is worth living. It's only fair, too, as your images rarely fail to make me smile.

King said 1132 days ago:

Psychodudu,
I assume you are speaking of Blizzard, my hero--thanks for that.

At the age of 62, Fat Bastard that I am, I'm developing my own breasts, but they are hairy, not terribly photogenic, and the Post-It Notes don't stick very well.

Tom said 1131 days ago:

The blanket is a distraction for me. Had it just been the nude body and the sign with a more contrasty conversion I think this might have worked. Unique idea however.

King said 1131 days ago:

Ana,
You've probably already spotted this, which I thought was posted by you:

http://www.weeklyshot.org/theme/signs/response/135/

What fun!

reality said 1131 days ago:

sign of the times?

philippe said 1131 days ago:

I'm a bit diappointed, I thought you loved William Shakespeare...

As for you score, I'm also disappointed, no to talk about mine... Tes? Ok: I got a 3.49...

Some fat bastard are even worse than you are. They screw you and they don't even leave a word...

philippe said 1131 days ago:

Oh, shoot... I meant Yes, not Tes nor Tess, and bastard(s). (It seems there's not only one).
Whatever...

kyla said 1131 days ago:

King I am glad you posted your wife breasts instead of your hairy ones- or am I? If you still have one shot left- could be interesting- it could fall into the category of sign of a person who needs waxing... think about it!

King said 1131 days ago:

kyla...horrors!

Perseida said 1131 days ago:

Who is "ws"?
Good shot!

Lemmingstone said 1131 days ago:

Hmmm. Well, I guess it is a sign and no doubt big on impact.

Perseida said 1131 days ago:

Ohhh just King! Hahaha!

EXP said 1131 days ago:

Ah, sex sells...and gets comments it seems. heh heh.

Jay said 1131 days ago:

Cheeky

mooch said 1129 days ago:

41 comments, and the reason for this is...

mooch said 1129 days ago:

...thought as much.

kadenajack said 1129 days ago:

How on earth did I miss this one? Very curvy and wonderful.

King said 1129 days ago:

@kadenajack,
I thought so...I mean the wonderful curviness more than the photo itself. Thanks for noticing.

SeekingFocus said 1129 days ago:

certainly catches attention...

mikesphotog said 1129 days ago:

provocative as usual

King said 1129 days ago:

@mikesphotog...assuming you are referring to me, how did you know who the photographer was before hitting the "Submit" button? Did a little bird tell you? Just curious.

mikesphotog said 1128 days ago:

Yes, but the damn bird told me it's Blizzard's.

King said 1128 days ago:

@mikesphotog...You're not the only one to make that mistake. I think that if Blizzard had created this, it would be much more provocative and, therefore, probably featured.

I had to be discreet, given that my wonderful wife is not used to being photographed like this.

King said 1128 days ago:

Blizzard,
Yeah! And if you couldn't reach around to write it properly, George would write it for you!

Compared to what you would have done, this shot is a wussy.

bioLarzen said 1128 days ago:

I dunno... Great idea and shot, still doesn't move me much :(

King said 1128 days ago:

bioLarzen, I agree, but if you had been there I think you would have found it much more interesting that this humble photograph portrays.
:>)

King said 1128 days ago:

...like the fire juggler I once saw in San Francisco. He was lying on his back, juggling torches right above his face. Getting only tepid applause, he said to the audience, "Must look more dramatic from where I am."

derLITOGRAPH said 1128 days ago:

what is this?

King said 1127 days ago:

FYI for ratings afficionados...with 26 ratings, this image is moving up in every category. Give this theme another week and this image another 26 ratings, and this one might eventually cross the magic threshold:

Relevance: 3.42
Impact: 3.41
Composition: 3.35
Technique: 3.62
Quality: 3.73
Overall: 3.506
