Re: Not there.
Exactly.
I didn't mean to help cause a stink. I also clarified that I didn’t think Mac User meant anything sinful or offensive with his post. I simply agreed with Shellie's caution.
I assumed the woman was nude for a couple of reasons...
1. The use of the nude go-go "trucker" image as a comparison.
2. The distinct shape of the overall image without the appearance of articles of clothing.
3. What appears to be erect nipples.
Now, being part owner of a web and graphic design business I know that an image can appear differently to the human eye without a solid pixel in place. For instance, a semi-transparent pixel will appear to the naked eye as solid when viewed at a certain "distance". So, the lack of a hard pixel when zoomed in does not mean that when viewed normally the image does not convey erect nipples to the observer. In fact, we know from the witness of several posters here that when normally viewed (at least) it does indeed give the appearance of such.
Me thinks you guys are arguing to much for the seeming "purity" of the image. That said, let me reiterate that I, and I don't believe anyone else, was NOT arguing for an impurity of intention on the part of any poster here.

Poimen,
I am with you. I never was questioning anyone's intention. I just thought the image was inappropriate.
SEVERAL here have posted that they do see the "extra". A few do not. Not having them visible on someone else's monitor does NOT make them a figment of my imagination or anyone elses. They are there.
I do take issue though with some acting like I'm "finding" things that are not there because I'm trying to.
That is just as unfair to me as if I would have said that the inappropriate image was intentional.

I hope you know I never meant to suggest that you were finding things... I just (personally) didn't see what you did, and still don't. If anything (see the image I posted) it looks like the breast is somewhat cropped off... flat-edged on front. Visual perception is, however, extremely subjective, and people see things very differently.

No, not you. I figured I would have gotten a phone call from you.
Yeah, I tried to stop it at the precise moment it "shows". Couldn't do it because when you save it it goes to original starting place. I only catch a glimpse as she is turning to the back or coming around the front.
Anyway...no big deal. We're good.
