Dude Looks Like A Lady

Posted by Marcah (Quincy, United States) on 21 December 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

So never judge a book by it's cover
Or who you're going to love by your lover
Love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a Venus
Lord imagine my surprise
Aerosmith

When or is a photograph ever politically incorrect ?

Steve Rice from Olympia, United States

fantastic shot! i love the treatment. as for your question on poiltical incorrectness, in my opinion, i suppose it depends on who's looking at the photo. it's as subjective as it is objective :)

I'm having a hard time putting into words what I'm thinking about when I look at this. I love the image. Very different, just can't find the right words.

I like the B/N and how all the elements of the photo (convergent lines, the attitude of the two "unambiguous" mens) drives the eyes to Dude. Great photo!

EYES WIDE SHUT from A corner of Utopia, United Kingdom

One of my favourite bands, I've always loved Steve Tyler since 1974's 'Toys in the Attic' album. What a cracking piece of artwork here. This is superbly processed and presented, fine use of selective colouring, a strong image with that touch of humour.

Absolutely first class. If I could give it six stars, I would

Grahame from Mt Maunganui, New Zealand

Yet another great piece of photo graphix Marcah.
As to your question.
Political incorrectness is in the eye of the beholder.
It is also the right of the image maker to express it as they see fit.
