Classic Nudes Hall-of-Fame Election Series: Photo #1

[wmonbear]

wmonbear, are you related to that eric123 something dude? I agree here with bobby... If you wanted us to vote hot or not, you should have just added hot or not poll and leave out all this BAMBA* LAMBA* and HALL OF FAME options from the poll and introduction? Also you are using way too many fancy words to try confuse people... Any educated person would know how to explain things in a simple manner and to never use any fancy or career specific words when explaining things commonly to non-specified people.

Good post! Great example of constructive criticism - non-inflammatory, respectful yet still firmly getting the point across. Perhaps the ACE twins can learn from this.

Anonyne#017, I have made a mental note of your suggestions and will try to tone down the flowery, corporate-style language. Thanks!

You have interests in artistic nude photography. Fine, I'm sure plenty of people would participate in discussions about that. Simply start a thread about it and let the discussions flow. No need to make up fake institutes and halls of fame. Doing that is insulting the intelligence of the community and as you have seen, we are not so easily fooled.

Respect this post as well. From your perspective, I can see your point. So allow me to clarify.

You suggested I starting a thread discussing nude photography -- my objectives go far beyond the discussion mode. As with the Monna Lisa painting, which at some point in time was declared a "classic", there ought to be a systematic way to bestow similar honors (i.e., Hall of Fame) to worthy NPI's.

If I insulted anyone's intelligence at Freeones, I apologize - it certainly was not my intent!

Practically speaking, it's not enough to simply say Photo X is in the the Hall of Fame, as there are many so-called "Halls". You need to specify which one.

Conceptually, The Academy of Nude Photographic Arts (ANPA) serves the purpose of providing a destination/home, albeit virtual, for Hall-of-Fame-worthy NPI's. Would have loved to use "Freeones Hall of Fame", but for obvious reasons, it's not a viable option.

Some of you spoke about lacking a "frame of reference" for rendering a proper judgment - which is a valid point. To address this issue, the plan going forward is to 'roll out' some of the more successful NPI’s of past seasons along with a few that were not so successful. This exercise would serve as a training period to build and identify the parameters needed to render a more educated and informed photo assessment.

Following this orientation period, Freeones voters will have begun to develop the skill set necessary to become seasoned reviewers of nude images. At this time, Freeones members will be encouraged to submit photographs they believe posses Hall-of-Fame potential. Overall, we’re looking at about a 6 to 8 week process to arrive at this juncture.

Training...?
Orientation period...?
Skill set...?

If you want people to volunteer a nude pic that they consider amazing in the manner of "erotic" rather than "pornographic," I'm not entirely sure what you think is going to take 6-8 weeks for them to learn.

"1st ballot Hall of Fame photos" (in my opinion)

Alyssa's photo does not qualify (imo)

edit - as already covered in this thread, linking to Playboy pics without accompanying links to the source gallery is not allowed

Like'em don't love'em. Pretty sure Alyssa's pic's has them all beat.

I'll make you a deal... tell me which one you like the most and we'll place it in a 3-option poll like Alyssa's to see how it compares.

It's comes down to experience, exposure and frame of reference. It's like growing up in a small village. Until you venture beyond those familiar surroundings, You Might think the prettiest girl there is the most beautiful girl in the world.

In the time frame specified, I hope to introduce a number of images of varying styles, quality, and appeal.

Poll Update & Analysis

As of this post, 82% of participating voters feel the Alyssa Arce pic is at least a borderline Hall of Famer, if not a 1st-ballot lock.

If the poll were to have ended today, then this pic would have successfully earned eligibility to compete in the year-end Hall of Fame Playoff Tournament.

The Final 4 pics left standing at the end of this tourney shall be inducted into the ANPA Hall of Fame as a "classic" photograph!

Currently Wolverine is running what on the surface appears to be a similar series of threads. How does your Hall-of-Fame Election Series differ from what Wolverine is doing?

Classic nude, what the fuck? That's misinformation and wrongly appropriated verbiage. I came here hoping to see a nice bush / landing strip, classic tan lines and big hair!

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Wow. 18 voters. That must be some kind of record for your shitty polls.

There you go again. Be gone troll. Return to your village. We have business to take care of. You will be welcomed back when you begin to show some decorum.

You'll have to break out the big guns, Bob.

I think you're confusing "classic" with "vintage" which is an entirely different genre.

In this case, the term "classic" is not used to denote a past era, but to indicate an exceptionally high level of excellence or quality.

A classic NPI (nude photographic image) is timeless - it may have been shot 50 years ago, or theoretically, as recent as today!

My apologies Mr_Stiffy. I overlooked that. Won't happen again.

HUGE difference. Wolverine's series amounts to a popularity contest between porn stars, with the focus being on the babe's looks, personality, reputation, performance, etc.

In this case (Hall-of-Fame voting), judgments will ideally have nothing whatsoever to do with the featured model's celebrity or popularity, but instead will be based on the photograph overall, including such aspects as....

- Attractiveness of model
- Originality or creativity of shot
- Image quality (resolution, etc.), and
- Sexual appeal (pose, figure/physique, facial expression)

Thanks. I agree, best of the group. Will put it up soon!

Footnote: Of the 3 votes shown above for "Not a Hall-of-Fame-caliber photo", 2 are from the trolling ACE twins (same guy - see post #35 of this thread)

So by this we are to judge upon single photographs? There is a lot to consider here. Each deserves it's own considerable debate before we even go onto comparisons to others.

Bob, it makes me very happy to see you embrace your Troll Hall of Fame status.

When a photo is up for review, the above template could could be used to assist in making one's final decision . Or you could choose to simply go by your initial reaction. Everyone will develop their own system for judging pics. Debating these points would be impractical and futile, not to mention a total waste of time, since everyone has their own personal viewpoint. It's a purely subjective process (no right or wrong) - - a simple majority shall determine a photo's ultimate fate.

Poll Choices and their Consequences

A: Exceptional (Hall-of-Fame worthy!) -- a majority means photograph is essentially an "instant classic"

B: Very good (worthy of consideration) -- combined with the "Exceptional" vote, a majority means pic qualifies for participation in the Hall-of-Fame Tournament

C: Not Hall-of-Fame worthy - majority vote means photo is disqualified from Hall-of-Fame contention
