 God bless America & all her plastic surgeons

24 hours after the start of the challenge & I have had 638 views with 174 votes. The most views I have ever had during the course of a full weeks voting was 660. I am predicting this will be my most viewed challenge entry.

Post Challenge The 4th most viewed entry in this challenge during voting even if it didn't score well.

I have to learn how to compress without causing artifacts.

Thank you everyone that voted and/or left comments.

Good photojournalism (yeah -- that's what it is). My main quibble is a technical one, as I can see some ugly artifacts here and there. Looks like you could have boosted the file size and gotten a better quality JPG.

Shot is allright but you seem to have some heavy artifact banding in the shot, you might try a little less image compression next time to avoid this since it isn´t neccesary, you can use up to 200kb in your shot.

Given the challenge, this was a serendipitous moment for you.

Nice shot, I know those are american flags and american boobs but thanks to NZ 3 news I also know this picture was taken in Auckland. I wanted so badly to come up there for this. But time restraints made it imposible.

Well, sure, it's a nude, but as a candid it doesn't have much life to it. Feels forced and rushed to me.
