his picture takes the previous pictures of "boys swimming" in a pond to a new level of nudity. Here the viewer is not watching innocent youths frolicking in the water and catching accidental glimpses of their penises. Now the man is older and blatantly stretching out his entire body for the camera to behold. Still there is an unreal like quality, for although the man's feet and face are in clear focus, his genitals are not. Early air bushing? Also, his clothes are left purposefully in view at his feet leading us to think this was a rural boy about to go skinny-dipping. Apparently, the world was not quite ready for the stark nakedness of a simple country boy.
