My comparison was about the interpretation of art. If artwork A can be interpreted as something in a particular context (gt/gts content in this case), then why can't artwork B be interpreted in the same type of context? Not if artwork A is interpreted like this in it's own context, then why can't artwork B be interpreted in a separate context. I wasn't saying that any picture of a person could and should be interpreted as gt/gts content. I was saying that calling a work like this POV, despite having little to interpret it that way, makes about as much sense.
Yes, you can say there's a small person in this woman's skirt. But then I'll ask you things like this: How tall is he/she? Is she aware of him/her? Is she doing anything to him, intentionally or otherwise? Would this change in any way if you said the person down there was regular sized? If you don't have an answer, or the answer is no to all of these, then why even bother considering it POV?
I saw the Tgirl pics MarkM posted recently. I have to thank you for that Mark. They were quite nice, and they did make a good point in favor of POV, that I completely agree with. In all of them, the woman of focus is looking down at the viewer. Boom! There's now an interaction, and if you change the context of the person below being small or normal sized, it changes completely. With works like this one here, if you were normal sized, you'd still be looking directly at a lovely womanhood, up a skirt. And if you were tiny... you'd get the same thing. With the Tgirl pics though, if you were small, she's aware of you, and you can fill in the blanks for yourself where things went afterwards. But if you were of regular size, then the encounter would be different. The two of you would interact in ways impossible for a tiny person, and vice versa. I guess you could say that you could make a story for this piece, where it would go afterwards. But there's a lot of questions that you have to choose for yourself.
Is the woman whose skirt you're up/under aware of you? You don't know. Is she doing anything with the area of focus? No.
POV works like those work, because you don't really have to ask how they're a point of view.
