nicely croped, nice contrast, but lacks a little originallity as photos of naked pregnant women go. Nice angle.

As a mother and a woman, I love this photo. The pride and happiness you have captured in your subject's expression, along with the comfort she has with her changing body make this image stunning. This is one of the most comfortable and positive nudes of a pregnant woman I have seen. Stunning work! Great angle and framing. I also like the play of light and shadow on her face and body with her body being lit more than her face. Wow! Have I mentioned that I like this photo?

hmm good lighting I like the shadows around the neck and shouldes. Good DoF and subject. The pose dosn't quite work for me. I suppose however that getting a pregnate woman to pose fo hours, until you find just the right one would be close to suicidal. The phot oalso looks a little soft but I thing I like it considering the subject.

Classic, Really Nice capture!

Lovely pose and a rare opportunity. Great angle and framing. I felt the contrast was little too high washing out shades on the chest and near shoulder areas. (This would look softer on a CRT monitor.) 8. Good luck!

Nice, but the light on the chest seems a little harsh.

nice

this is were a soft focus lens or PS soft focus technique would be helpful to make the subject more luminescent. good contrast ratio. 5

I like this shot - nice capture. The position of the models leg is awkward - not flattering to the leg and curve of the rear.

Very tasteful, works well as b&w. I like the subtle shadows. One could have been tempted to go really severe in the lighting and take away from the gentleness.

Shots like this have ribboned, and this is as good as those. The only difference I see is that those seemed to have a more creative use of light, but outside of that, virtually identical to a ribbon winner. Good job.

Cropped a little to tightly on the left for my taste. But a bold shot with a stunning model. Congrats.
