The words, the title, does not work for me.
I don't see a photographer (perfect or otherwise).
I see a person on step ladder, from the back, and bent forward.

If we take our attention away from the appearance of a well formed female 
derriere.
Then what, exactly, makes this a "damn fine photograph?"

Do its elements form a fine composition?
Did it capture a fine decisive moment?
Does it show fine lighting?
Fine human emotions?
Show us some striking design?

I see a relatively well exposed snap shot of a woman's butt.
Nothing more nothing less.
I don't see it as offensive or "embarrassing."
Nor do I see it as a "damn fine" photograph.

Regards,
George
