Thanks for all the comments! I'm pleased to see this shot accepted as a nude by the voters. No it's not risky, but I wanted to capture the natural, and comfortable, intimacy of family.

Ben, the strong connection between you and Sophia enjoying a bit of nature "au naturale" brings a smile of joy to my heart when I look at this image. I didn't vote this challenge (I'm such a prude...LOL), but this one would have got a 10++ from me! The best use of masculine strength in support of this lucky little girl!

Thankyou for the inspiration... I'd love to do a similar shoot with my niece. The b&w is really stunning here.

Another title could have been "Please don't pee on my neck, please don't pee on my neck...".

I really like this pic, and all joking aside your title does match the image perfectly.

I like the concept...has almost a tarzan type feel to it. Good shot.

Far from risky, but nicely done. I love the lighting and the darkness.

A quick bump!

good idea, I can't quite put my finger on it but feel like the photo isn't quite popping... maybe it needs a different crop or composition, not sure... but its almost there. 8
