Picture of the Week 11.10.05

[Glen]

I never thought I would be picking an image of a naked couple having sex for PotW, but here it is.

Brilliant shot with interesting subject matter, great DOF, good use of a white background, but really it is a great macro with sexual innuendo, what a perfect PotW. Congratulations Rel on a great capture.

Well done BlacknStormy - this was a no brainer

[the foto fanatic]

Deservedly so.
Despite the many light-hearted comments on this pic (including mine), it is a seriously good macro image - well presented too, with that white background.

Congratulations Rel.

[MattC]

Brilliant, and a popular choice judging by the responses in the other thread.

Well Done!

[Greg B]

Great shot, great selection.

The hardest thing was probably getting them to smile while they were concentrating.

Timing is everything, Greg.

Great selection Glen, and a great image.

[Alpha_7]

Congrats a well deserving POTW

[Geoff]

Congratulations Rel! Excellent image. When I first opened this image on the forum, I let out a roar of laughter, my fiance Bel asked me what I was looking at, I said '"its pornographic..want to see?'"she said "no thanx"in a tone that suggested she wasn't impressed, then I showed her what I was looking at..hahahaha...she laughed her head off! Brilliant macro work, well done and thanx for the laugh! Glen, great choice too mate!

[Sheetshooter]

BlacknStormy is a star performer at the best of times but this superb macro (verging on micro?) shot is a pearler. Skill and wit - how can you top that?

And a visual antonym for the expression "fly is undone"!

Congratulations and please show us more.

[sirhc55]

This pic is just pure art - a superb photo from Rel, well picked by Glenn

[gstark]

Congratulations and please show us more.

I'm not quite sure about that last comment.

[Sheetshooter]

I take your point Gary,

I had meant for BlacknStormy to share more of her oeuvre on a more regular basis but yes, perhaps this R-Certificate number could be further investgated to get to an X-Certificate.

Mind you, there are kiddies watching and the odd sensitive geriatric - maybe best left where it is.

[stubbsy]

A great shot. Loved it when I first saw it. Had I known Glen was choosing POTW this week I'nd have known it was a guaranteed winner back then. Quality + sex

[leek]

A great photo... Technically brilliant and a comical subject...

This image has an illustration / cartoon quality to it as well... Interesting...

[blacknstormy]

How could you not love flies??? LOL (well, not in the biblical sense...)

Thank you Glen for giving me my first POTW.... feels good
And thank you all for your comments on this shot .. and for your good humour !! I was pleased with this shot, and I am so glad that others agreed with me.

I just realised something - I never got a signed release form from the models !!!!

You wouldn't want a couple of specks of fly-dirt on a piece of paper, would you?

[Manta]

Congratulations, Narelle, on your first POTW.

Seems a lifetime ago that Gary was having a light-hearted jibe at you about lurking for AGES before you posted anything on the forum. At the same time I remember I was constantly at you at work about not putting any images up.

I don't think there have been any of your shots that haven't hit the mark. You've become one of the 'must see' posters on this site and I'm looking forward to what you choose to share with us in future.

Well chosen Glen.
This has set the bar that much higher for the rest of us. I think I'll have to take some time off work to go hunting for that elusive, ethereal POTW ...

[BBJ]

What can i say but this is a great shot caught in the act, and well unreal. Not a macro person but do like looking at it as it is very interesting some of these creatures close up and well all i can say is this is a well diserved POTW.
Fantastic

[PiroStitch]

Congratulations and that shot is a classic! Talk about timing. That's what you get for not getting a private room

[Geoff]

I just realised something - I never got a signed release form from the models !!!!

If you had tried they might have just told you to 'buzz' off. Sorry

[Big V]

Awesome photo, the others have said it all

[MCWB]

If you had tried they might have just told you to 'buzz' off. Sorry

The response to that would be, "Well screw you too... oh wait..."

[Digidegs]

Wow, great shot!! Well done!!
POTW ? Poke Of The Week

[waspo]

Apart from the humorous side of this pic, I think it's bloody superb! Well done, mate!

[mic]

Sex Sex Sex Thats all we think about.

I think the best POTW so far and it all came down to dirty Fly SEX

Well done BS, well done.

Mic

[Alex]

Congratulations, Blackandstormy. Excellent timing.

Alex

[blacknstormy]

Thank you all for your kind comments on my photo - I don't think I deserved the comments by you Simon - but thank you just the same. I was just very lucky to be in the right place at the right time with the right lens Pure fluke !

I'm not sure that I can leave the office at the moment - my head is way toooo big

Thank you all once again
Rel

[Nnnnsic]

This is a really great image.

Disturbing, but great.

Now we just have to worry that you may have created a new field of porn...

[wendellt]

This image makes me feel guilty when i swat a fly
, they are capable of so much more than buzzing, they can practice physical love. You have captured the natural beauty of insects i find repulsive.

A well deserved picture of the week.

[SteveGriffin]

But are they of a local or imported species??

[elffinarts]

definitely worth a POTW as no other pic has had me laugh so loud in ages. (in the office no less)

[Maximus]

Made me smile and feel ill at the same time...

[kinetic]

Awesome pic! (grubby little buggers )
So Moderator People - are you going to make BlacknStormy change her signature now? .....what's with this "not that good but hopefully getting better" rubbish??????

[Jonesy]

Well it is a superb image and I can only repeat the praises of everyone else!
And it seems that it is so good that its going for a second week?
Maybe the bar has been set to high now? and we have to work a lot harder to get the POTW

[Sheetshooter]

Just on the off-chance that it is not going to be up for a second week (no pun intended) I have a question related to this pic. I mean, we have all ASUMED ... but is this actually how flies give and take pleasure? Or is it a piggy-back? Or perhaps one just jumped low at leap-frog? Perhaos it is a deformity? "Is that another fly you're shaggin' Louis?" "Naah, it just started out as a growth on my belly this morning!"

They're bad and mean and mighty unclean ... afraid of no one - 'cept the man with the can of .....

Cheers,

[kinetic]

...but is this actually how flies give and take pleasure?

I think it is (see link below to science webiste)

http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/labbench/lab11/observe.html

Ugh - I can't beleive I'm dealing in fly porn!!!

[Nnnnsic]

I saw two moths dealing in love tokens last night...

[Sheetshooter]

Hey,

Ain't Mother Nature a kind and generous soul? To think that a dude who frequents dung heaps and goes by the name of Drosophila melanogaster can actually get laid! Man, there's hope for all of us!

By the way, do I gather from the sequence that male flies might be French. Bit of tongue work happening there before the willy gets a run.


Sorry, buggered and silly after a long day of hard yakka.

Cheers,

[kinetic]

Sheetshooter - ew gross! Enough!!!

I saw two moths dealing in love tokens last night...

You sooooooooo need to get out more!

[blacknstormy]

You really are a scary lot in this forum aren't you???? I don't know why the photo is still there - I know it's not that good! For the record, the flies are sarcophagids, or flesh flies, and give birth to live maggots - there's no fly eggs in this equation. I can tell you more, but that is probably enough for most of you. (Steve - they are definitely locals)

Sheetshooter - the willy is already in !!!!!

[Nnnnsic]

I had to use that term "love tokens" this week.

[Sheetshooter]

Blacknstormy,

Please allow me to apologise. I did not wish to detract from you great shot. (You might not think much of it but I think it is one of the most capable and wonderful pics I have seen on the site - as are many of your offerings.)

I realise that in your shot the choo-choo was already in the tunnel but in the graphic on Kinetics link there was a little courtship happening and the odd yodel seemed part of it.

Do keep posting your macro shots - they are really wonderful and entertaining in the extreme.

(Are these insect pics part of your work?)

Cheers,

[blacknstormy]

Sheetshooter, seeing you seem so interested, this is what a male fly aedeagus (willy) looks like. (didn't have time to go through my drawings, so downloaded one of a robber fly for you).......

And don't apologise - ask Manta - I love sh*t stirring, so have been having a ball (no pun intended). My other half and I have a business conducting fauna surveys, so many of my shots are taken while we are working - but mostly just for fun. I'm learning, and have a long long way to go, but what a fun trip it is !!!

[Nnnnsic]

I realise that in your shot the choo-choo was already in the tunnel...

And now I somehow have to work that into a conversation this week...

[blacknstormy]

And Nnnnsinc - I just had a look at your blog. Why oh why didn't you ask her out !!!!!???????

[kinetic]

And Nnnnsinc - I just had a look at your blog. Why oh why didn't you ask her out !!!!!???????

Then he would have had someone to use the "choo choo into the tunnel" line on........... Sorry... I'll quit with the smart arse comments now.

[blacknstormy]

Don't Kinetic - it all makes life fun!!! But we'll all probably be thrown out of the site soon for being so crass

[Sheetshooter]

Okay, It's Blacknstormy's fault.

Her suggestion that Leigh should have cracked onto the sort made me go and read the blog.

Shit man!

At 87 kilos how the bleedin' hell do you have any spare weight to lose?? I've just been putting myself through the diet number for a while and I have shed just over 20 kilos. (Mustn't say lose because we might find them again and besides, choo-choos sleep in sheds and they get to play in tunnels.) But hey, I had a hundred and fifty of the bastards to dispense with to begin with. According to the quack even my GOAL WEIGHT is heaps more than 87 friggin' kilos. Don't stand in a strong wind Leigh, you'll whistle like a telegraph line.

Cheers,

[Sheetshooter]

Oh .... and I have a contact who heads the film faculty at UTS so maybe there is a conduit to the Werris. (If that's what she is!)

Cheers,

[Nnnnsic]

Don't Kinetic - it all makes life fun!!! But we'll all probably be thrown out of the site soon for being so crass

You wish.

And why didn't I? Because I'm an absolute idiot.

And yeah Sheetshooter, she's a film student at UTS. Seemed really quite cool.

And yes I know...

/me goes to the chalk board in this severely off-topic post and begins to write

I will ask out girls who are beautiful, seem interested in me, and are really interesting to talk to the next time I'm standing in line in a Harvey Norman queue.
