Seriously, it could scare her off even though you had completely good intentions and don't in any way think of her as petty or something to lock up. I suggest not showing her until you can trust her not to overreact. Imagine if she breaks up with you and tells others? Not a good place to be.

If you preface showing her the picture with a sincere explanation of your piece of art not as a statement of imprisonment, but as one as fun and light... or extreme cutitude, I think you'll be okay.
Just be ready for an unexpected response. You never know how someone might be affected by art - no matter WHAT the explanation.

Just to add another reason why I think you should, imagine if she was looking through your pictures for the heck of it and happened to see that picture on your computer, without any explanation. That would be really creepy, in a "Why does my boyfriend have a picture of me in a cage?" kind of way.

Answered Question

Mahalo is adding a tip to all questions that don't offer a tip.
Should I show my girlfriend this picture I made of her?
ok. so here is my deal. im casey. im 15 years old and my girlfriend kelly is 14. last summer, we went to the beach together and i managed to get a really adorable picture of her sitting on a rock wall along the beach in a cute little bikini. her sweet blonde hair looked gold against the sun and her eyes were blue and shiny. it was the most perfect picture ever!
several months later, i was taking some pictures of some old things my grandma was selling at a garage sale and my eye happened to catch this beautiful little brass birdcage. it was a decorative birdcage-round with little gold leaves and vines circling around it. it had a swinging perch inside...you know? like a bird would sit on? so i took a picture of it!
anyway, i let my deepest fantasies get the best of me and i went to photoshop and spliced the 2 pictures together. i had to erase both backgrounds from each picture, and i made a copy of the birdcage and erased the "back" bars of the cage via photoshop. i then, took the picture of my girlfriend and put her behind the cage and seated her on the swing. next, i put the back bars back in so it looked like they surrounded her. i adjusted the size of her and the swing to make it look like she was seated on it. after all was said and done, it looked like she was INSIDE the birdcage and it was such a darling picture. i then added a background of a beautiful garden behind her and made the cute little golden cage look like it was hanging in a gazebo. when the whole picture was done, it looked so perfect!
my question now is: should i show her the picture or do you think it will embarass her? my older brother told me i should be ashamed of myself. he said that she will be humiliated if she thinks my sexual fantasy is of me holding her prisoner in a birdcage! but i think it's just an innocent picture and it's really cute! and i wouldn't really do that to her for real! my mom saw the picture as well and she said she thought it was really cute and that kelly looked adorable sitting inside a pretty little birdcage. should i show her the picture or do you think it is a stupid idea?
what do you all think?

Boy, that is tricky. On one hand, it is really cute, but on the other, she might think of it as being trivialized to be a bird someone owns and imprisons. My leaning is to hold off on showing her until a long ways down the road. This is the type of thing you tell her about years later, maybe after your kids start school. :) Seriously, it could scare her off even though you had completely good intentions and don't in any way think of her as petty or something to lock up. I suggest not showing her until you can trust her not to overreact. Imagine if she breaks up with you and tells others? Not a good place to be.

It all depends on the delivery. If you preface showing her the picture with a sincere explanation of your piece of art not as a statement of imprisonment, but as one as fun and light... or extreme cutitude, I think you'll be okay.

Like others have said, I suggest showing her and explaining how you feel about it to her. Just to add another reason why I think you should, imagine if she was looking through your pictures for the heck of it and happened to see that picture on your computer, without any explanation. That would be really creepy, in a "Why does my boyfriend have a picture of me in a cage?" kind of way.
