The person who voted your image a "1" should be shot! (Photographically, of course, so we know who they are:). Even the person who voted a "4" should be shot too...and come to think of it, the five people who voted it a "5" should be equally shot, as well as, the 23 people who voted it a "6" and the 32 people voting it a "7", the 27 people who voted it a "8" and the 20 people who voted it a "9". That leaves 21 people of the 130 who voted still walking around. lol

Seriously, though, I love the metaphorical interpretations that are evoked by this image. Mother as sacrfice (posed as on alter); mother as bridge for baby; mother representative as half of the circle of life for the baby; mother as soft, yet strong and supportive; and the list goes on...

There's a timelessness to it and it reminds me of the image of the fetus floating in space at the end of the movie: "2001: A Space Oddessy." It's very powerful. Congratulations on your blue.

Wow, I'm glad this did so well. Outstanding work both technically and "metaphorically". The arrangement, altogether, is sublime, the lighting is spot-on, the B/W conversion is flawless, what more can you ask? I particularly appreciate the expanse of black above the figures, which I believe is proportioned just right. The way the upper arc of the woman's body precisely is tangent to the equator of the image, gently thrusting the newborn into subtle but distinct prominence/ascendancy, is a grace note.

This is a truly fine image, a masterful one even.
