I like this idea. Don't know if this is feasible, but I think that an incredibly powerful shot would be the same composition, but have another person behind her giving her a hug or holding her with their hands resting above her stomach. She might then even embrace their hands with her own.
Very nice. I think a darker background would have improved the overall shot. The tones are so nice and varied on the hand but rather flat elsewhere. The darker background would have given a stronger line along her belly and improve the overall tonal quality. 7
great lighting and shadows. This image is very crisp and clean. You are able to see alot of fine details in the skin, especialy on the hands. The only complaint I have on this paticular photo is the fabric. While very well defined, I feel that perhaps a more natural positioning of the cloth would have looked better. However this is definately a good shot and a great example of focus and lighting. This should score well in this challenge.
nice photo, feels kind of like a stock photo or something in a magazine about being pregnet, a little hard to connect to the photo, but created well...! cheers
Mr Bojang I presume (I recognise the pic from your site)
Nice to see you getting into the challenges, hope you don't become too addicted to the 'update' button, see you later :)
BTW - nice pic, I love the way the texture of the cloth contrasts the smoothness of the skin on her belly, and the tones on her hand are wonderful
