@Markus-well not really difficult, I don't
say don't think anything like that, I just
say don't say it to me, I am not some whore
at the red light district to be commented on
like that.
It's Belgian cherry beer, very tasty!
P.s.ALthough , I do accept comments about my
looks but the ones that are put in a tasteful
manner, for example "beautiful", i
don't feel offended and degraded by that.

It's a cool pic because of the composition --
the cool colors plus the contrast of the
vertical and horizontal lines with some of
the, er, curvier ones. and I agree with
(un)hipster about the retro feel.

Your request is so out of touch with reality.
If you were some fat chick holding a bottle
no one would care. And no one would comment
no matter how "artistic" it was, no
matter how great the post processing was. The
shot is great and the composition lovely, but
that is mostly due to the fact that you have
a great body. You have a body that draws many
views to your profile and not all just
because you have a great body but because you
choose to use it to explore you art. For
someone who is so seemingly comfortable
posing for the camera you are awfully
sensitive about your comments. I feel like if
you were a photographer using models instead
of yourself you would be less inclined to
take the comments so personally. Its a hard
world out there and you are treading a mighty
thin line between art and self indulgence. I
imagine this will get deleted......and I will
be blocked. Thank goodness for "free
speech"....

@pangeist- I see your point, but I don't
think my request is out of reality. It's not
hard to do, not to write a comment about it,
cause again, I did not say don't think it,
cause obviously people will think it and its
natural, I understand. But what I ask is just
to have some respect and leave these kind of
thoughts in the mind and not in the written
form here. It's just basic respect for me.
But apparently people think only about flesh
here.

what i like about flickr is the great pics
from all over the world, for me its almost as
good as travelling, cos we can see the
highlights of peoples experiences.... your
photos are neat cos they are interesting and
artistic, plus you dont 'pose' like a model,
you seem to portray thoughts and ideas as
well as great scenery, unusual locations

i love colors that draw my attention, mostly
because i'm partially color blind... i love
that film style split tone heavy colored
development. i love the framing of the shot,
the lack of context or the focus on specific
context, depending on which way you look at
it. it's like an untold story, a single
page, and i wonder what happened before and
after. it draws one into the story, and
makes me put myself there in the iterative
extrapolations of how it might have all
played out in time before and after this
shot, and what all was going on around in the
places i can't see.
i really do love your self portraits... self
portraiture is a tough art which i have
definitely lost touch with.

Yulia....... this is tricky. You see every
day I get, like many people, an email that
samples my friends' new Flickr posts. And for
the last two days I have not had a chance to
comment but have been attracted by this tiny
thumbnail staring at me - with your name next
to it. The reason my eyes have been attracted
to it, is for two reasons, one, that it
depicts a very attractive but
"anonymous" female body in a rather
fetching dress, and two, because it's a very
stylised photo: it actually looks like a
top-class advert. The main reason though that
I found it appealing was your, um, perfect
figure. So, how do I comment on the photo
without mentioning that??
Your image is a stunning piece of stylised
art, using a fabulous female form, to create
a masterpiece that could be used to advertise
"Kriek" without ANY problem at all.
In fact ask the brewery, I'd bet they'll be
interested. It will stand up in any
high-class magazine.
Steve- :) I have no problem with what you
say, and I accept it, because what you always
write to me is put in tasteful manner. There
are different ways to give compliments, and
yours are always great! Thank you!
It's my pleasure. And of course, I actually
want a version of this, on canvas, on my
lounge wall... :)
-- Seen in my recent comments.(?)

Yulia, dont be so concerned with the
prediction of negative comments posted
regarding your pics. For ones to post such
are not worthy of thinking of.. It kills me
that you worry and/or are effected by such
ridiclous comments. Your fine the way you
are, stay beatiful and creative! peace

I think when you decide to expose your
vision, you can't avoid to be judged also on
the looks of the model. Of course when
yourself is the model, the judgements can
hurt.
It's up to you; if you are confortable with
youself then nothing can bother you. Be
conscious of your beauty and vision and noone
and nothing can stop you. especially not some
negative words or rude comments posted by
some anonimous
for me, I like the way to look at yourself

Its all about respect !!! Are there
neanderthals on flickr ? I should hope not.
Everyone knows the difference between a
respectful comment and a non-respectful one.
If you don't then you are a moron. As yulia
has said, she appreciates nicely worded
compliments that do not objectiy her. Easy to
remember. How many times to self-portrait
artists have to have this conversation on
flickr ? This is an artistic community.
Yulia is a VERY TALENTED PHOTOGRAPHER who
uses herself as a model and happens to also
be good looking. So does that mean she
deserves to be spoken to like that ? Should
she cover her beauty in shame so salivating
unevolved men stay away? Idiots.
I think some men make comments like that in
the hope that the photographer will somehow
be charmed enough to respond, to meet up with
them, go on a date. So completely deluded.
They just sound pathetic and sad and
extremely unattractive.
Sorry Yulia - This really riles me. Will it
ever end ?
Wonderful photo. I love the 70s feel to it,
and those zinging popping colours.. :)

@Brady- thank you so so much for your
words!!!!!!!!!! It means a lot to me.
It is very well said, agree with you 100%.
The sad thing is, that some people tell me
that I take it too seriously and stuff, but
it has nothing to do with that. Am I supposed
to be silent and tolerate these cheap
comments like nice legs, nice body and etc.
This is not why I post pictures. Why these
people who criticize me of complaining not to
write comments like that, do not actually
criticize those who disrespect me, they are
the ones who behave in a wrong way not me.
IT's ok to disrespect me but it's not ok for
me to complain, very nice, huh! Whereas I am
the one who is right here.
Thank you so much Brady, I am so glad that
there is someone who understands and supports
me.

"The sad thing is, that some people tell

exactly... it is serious. Its like telling the little woman
to not worry her pretty little head about it.
I for one, will 'worry' about it until it
stops.
The whole of the FSPASG is behind you lady

I apologize Yulia, I will not say to you
that you are a "georgous girl" or
something like that anymore, even if I do
think it (without perverse thoughts) and even
if in my mouth it is a compliment, not a
disrespectful intention.
Of course you are a talented photographer,
otherwise it would be boring to follow your
work. We are on Flickr.com , not on
Meetic.com, I am here to share my passion of
photography, not to search a date or
masturbate, but consider that your body
belongs to your art works, and you drive them
very well...
So, sorry if I don't understand everything
in this conversation, maybe a question of
culture or something else, but I can only
accept your wishes, I don't want you to get
upset.
Concerning the cheap comments, we have to
say that on Flickr most of them are reduced
to : awesome, great, excellent, nice dof,
etc... since a very few people accept a
constructive and respectful criticize. Too
bad... but it is an other question.
Anyway, a photo doesn't really need some
words or comments, if someone really love it,
he will fave it, that's it.
I am conscious that I take a risk in posting
this comment but at least you will know that
I am not a hypocritical person. I know that
you have a strong personality and I
appreciate that, so if you decide to remove
me from your contacts, it will be too bad,
but the life will go on for you and me, and I
will continue to follow your work, just
because I am interested in your photos, not
in your butt.
@Gregory- :), I don't have any problem with
you saying gorgeous, it doesn't offend me, I
have problems with comments like nice legs,
nice ass, sexy shmexy and stuff like that.
As far as I remember I have never been
offended by any of your comments.
I agree with you that most comments on
Flickr are nice, great and etc. But ok, I
don't have problem with that. Maybe a person
is just not good with words, explaining and
stuff. I am myself not good with words.
I don't have any problems with you and thank
you for your words! :)

Put all your safe contacts as
"friends" (and the nearest as
"family") and in your settings,
allow the comments only for you, your friends
and your family, but not for "all the
Flickr members".
Yulia, this is a beautiful photo. The model,
you, is also beautiful and that is one of the
features that makes this a great photo. Do
we need to keep reminding you that you are
beautiful? Those of us who know you and your
work certainly do NOT need to remind you. We
continue to come back to your photo stream
because of the brilliant photos, the
creativity and art.
The people who leave derogatory comments
will always be around. And, unfortunately,
you always need to remind them that those
comments are not appreciated. They are the
same people who choose to ignore what is
written in anyone's profile. If they even
read profiles at all.
I for one appreciate your photos as
"art" and would be honored to have
most of them on my walls because of that and
because of their technical merit.
Thanks for sharing photo with us.

Wow, as i scan the various indepth posts from
people makes clear the truly dedicated
flickr-ists we have on our hands... -- this
of course, simply being an observation, not
intended to offend anyone in this all so
heated / debated comment posting. Take
pictures, enjoy life's beauty.

I came here from your new beer post, and had
a nice time reading the comments.
Interesting reading people's takes on walking
the line between appreciative compliment and
going too far. I think it would be OK though
to say:
You are even more beautiful with beer. :-)
