Lovely photo, but using the word "mechanical" in the title does not make it meet the challenege sorry. "Mechanical" has a fairly clear meaning, and this isn't it. Shame, as in another challenge this would have scored well I think.

Beautiful picture, but childbearing is more beautiful than machine like. :)

I am sure there are going to be howls that there is nothing "mechanical" about this image. I am sure the photographer has reasoned backwards and decided that the entire process of creating life is fundamentally mechanical; that's what his title implies. It's an interesting position to take, although I'd argue that "biological processes" may result in "mechanical" objects, but the process is still biological. Regardless, I appreciate the out-of-the-bix thinking here; sheer chutzpah.

As for the image itself? It's nice, but nothing special, pretty standard backlit-pregnant-woman shot.

Very different intepretation of the category....but you're right on! I like the limited lighting and your use of shadows. You aren't showing too much but you are showing quite a bit about the human machine.

Nice shot but you do an injustice in comparing this to a machine, in my humble opinion.

I think that's really stretching the whole "Mechanical" idea...

Personally, I thik of it as more biological than mechanical. Lighting is well done but to me it doesn't fit the challenge.
