Naturism or Nudism is a lifestyle in harmony with nature, expressed through social nudity, and characterised by self-respect of people with different opinions and of the environment. It can also be called a cultural and political movement practising, advocating and defending social nudity in private and public spaces.

• Oppose Horizon tilted, not very appealing pose, looking straight into armpit... A good nude shot needs some pizzazz. (BTW, Flickr is not "creator" so please refrain from using that.) --Janke | Talk 08:59, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

It is naturism. Pizzazz is not applicable in naturism. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 09:19, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

But it is applicable to FPC! ;-) --Janke | Talk 10:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

No. It is not applicable to FPC. You are mixing naturism with nudity. Naturism is a form of nudity, but it is non-sexual nudity. Naturism is opposed to clothing, and tells that not wearing clothes is natural. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 10:29, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Please let me clarify: I was not talking about "nudity vs. naturism". To get a support vote from me, any image needs some "wow" i.e. pizzazz - regardless of subject. That "wow" can be either visual, or encyclopedic. This image has neither. --Janke | Talk 11:50, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose Blurry at full resolution, unappealing composition. -- Grandpafootsoldier (talk) 10:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
