giorgio_guglielmino Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hello everybody. I like to go around and get birds and animals picture and than post everything into my blog. So last day I have created a new gallery of birds and animal living close to a pond near my work place: http://giorgio-photos.com/wordpress/?page_id=177 Into that gallery there are just average pics of birds and pony. From that gallery I have removed one pics of two pony that are having … fun (open this link only if you don’t mind animals having fun) http://giorgio-photos.com/wordpress/wp-content/gallery/fleet-pond-part-3/1024_mg_0137.jpg Now, the thing is, I removed that pic just because I have receive many mail (I really didn’t know that there was many people looking at my pics) stating that that pic is “dirty” and doesn’t have nothing to do with the others present into the gallery. Now, for me that pic is not dirty, it’s just very natural. I just think that a pic (a nature pic) become dirty only when who look at it think that is dirty. What do you think about that, Will you remove that pic from one of your gallery if people ask you do that? Thanks for your answer Giorgio Guglielmino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petemillis Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Georgio, there is NOTHING wrong with that picture. It is two animals mating perfectly naturally, and is the sort of thing that is shown every day on the many nature channels on TV. If people think that's dirty then there's something wrong with them. Keep the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petemillis Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 It also fits in perfectly well with the other pictures in your blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giorgio_guglielmino Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hi Pete, hi Yanning, thanks for your answers. Yanning, i understand that it's not a grat picture, so it's not a big deal if i include it or not, but why you wouldn't include it? Thanks Giorgio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petemillis Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Georgio, I think Yanning means he would keep it...you asked "Will you remove that pic from one of your gallery if people ask you do that? " and Yanning replied that he wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffs Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 You should keep the picture in,and I would e mail back and explain why you think it should stay.Im not sure what goes on in the minds of people who think this is somehow wrong.I think they are unbalanced to be honest.I would ask them to explain what dirty means.?Its just ridiculous.

alex_lofquist Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 In many of the African wildlife books you will often see photos of lions, giraffes, elephants, rhinos, and other indigenous creatures procreating. That's the way it is over there. I have never seen warnings in literature promoting safaris that there just might be something offensive. Honi soit que mal e pence!

giorgio_guglielmino Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Thanks to All for your comments. I have just inserted that pic again. I really appreciate your point of view and your idea about the argument. Thanks Giorgio Guglielmino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtlawyer Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 They are afraid. They believe that if animals procreate, they might evolve. And if they evolve it would prove that Darwin was right. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonmestrom Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Giorgio, people who think of this as dirty are merely being hypocrit. Ignore them. You´re quite right. Sending you a mail says more about the people themselves than about your photo. Would like to see the offspring though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blux Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Giorgio, You also have to understand that an important part of the feedback that you are not getting is how many people viewing this picture do not have a problem with it. If you had that information you just might find out that the people from whom you are receiving the "please remove this picture" emails, are actually just a noisey minority. B.

Yes, and human beings are animals too so why can't the nature channels show...err, never mind :-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
