I agree with what Thomas said in his explanation for removing the image and also with what Carol said on the Discussion page - why doesn't someone go out into their garden naked with a trowel and have their picture taken   enjoying doing the gardening - something with a better balance between plants and flesh? Hmmm. Perhaps a group from Wikiproject Biology or even Wikiproject Earth Sciences could  offer their services. I thought of doing it myself (this new idea of naked gardening has some appeal) but by the time the idea came to me, alas, darkness had fallen and there was no article "World Naked Gardening Day Night".

The image was not of someone gardening naked. It was a sexy picture of a very attractive young woman. Just imagine the same picture with the woman fully clothed and ask yourself if this picture would illustrate a general article about gardening. If I had to take a picture to illustrate naked gardening, I would have ask the model to bend her knees (because it is much more confortable) and I would have taken the picture from the opposite angle, with a focus one her hands which is actually the part of her body she uses to garden (or maybe there is a way to garden with one's vulva my grandparents never teached me of).

If you're still no convinced, just compare with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_hiking : people on the picture are hiking, not sexy posing while pretending to hike.

The photo is obviously more about a sexy and stimulating phyical stance taken by a naked female than about illustrating the article's point. Just like a picture emphasizing an erect penis would be. There's a difference between censorship and avoiding prurient WP:Undue.
