Description
A lot of umm'ing and ahh'ing between the colour version and this. I still like them both, the colour one might end up in scraps later...So this is Elli again, looking a bit more babyish here yes?
I must say I was quite shocked by some notes and comments to the earlier pictures about how children shouldn't be seen naked because it might encourage pedophiles etc. I can't quite comprehend how someone even entertained such thoughts looking at those pictures that were in no shape or form pornographic. I am not responsible for anyone's sick mind. To me, children are innocent and pure and there's nothing seedy about babies being naked whatsoever. Child pornography is a whole other issue and I felt quite pissed off about what was implied of my pictures.
And when it comes to these particular kids, yeah they are pretty innocent, their mum doesn't even allow TV in the house.

Black and white is always art as it shows something we cannot see or properly imagine. Colour simply shows a record of what we do see. As this site is supposed to be for art the black and white is the one that fits in perfect. Its a lovely picture well composed.

I love this picture. I had it saved in my huge file of reference from forever ago and had to search through DA to figure out whose it was!
I am starting up digital painting and used this as a reference for my latest picture : ) Thanks!

Pedophiles will be pedophiles regardless of whether there are nude photos of them.
What does bother me is children who are dolled up in makeup and fake boobs for beauty pageants. I don't think it riles up the pedophiles, it's just fucking wrong.
On topic though, this image is beautiful and the expression is so full of life.

The problem lies with the viewer, not the image!

i think you're right. children are always innocent -like this one, aww *o*- and there is a problem in a person's mind if they think such things while looking them.
i love the photo btw, just soo adorable

I would hardly call this nudity. I think a person has got to be kind of sick who could see it that way. I would like to see your colored version. I am drawing this photo and would like to see it in color if you have it.

Oh my goodness. This looks exactly like me when I was a child. I love it. You captured the essence of a carefree child.
Do you sell your photography or prints? I would love to buy this print from you. Holds very dear to my heart.

this is beautifull. she looks so relaxed and daydreamy. If sick people want to think of this as porn then so be it, they'r only ruening themselves as people. it didn't even cross my mind that there was any significance of her being naked (well my guess is she's probly wearing a nappy anyway

Hi there! I loved this picture so much that I sketched it and it has definitely been a favourite among my family and friends so I was wondering if it would be okay if I put it up on DA?

I Can't Believe Someone Would Say Such Things About Such An Innocent Pure Picture.
That Child Is Adorable, And The Photography Is Amazing.
Period.

I was on Skype with my boyfriend when I looked at this, and I sent it to him because I found it remarkable, and he came up with an entire story of this little girl's expression, and everything haha. Thanks for creating a lovely memory for me!
