My new niece or nephew is on the way. After a huge easter lunch we all went out onto the front lawn in the sun, and i couldn't resist this little belly poking out....
Convert to b/w, hue/saturation/colorize, reduce noise to add slight blur, curves, slight crop of legs on right side.

This should have finished much higher in the final voting. I'm sure you will be putting this in the babies photo album. It's definately a keeper. You did a great job on this shot. Congrats...!
great image (that belly button piercing looks strained!). amazingly smooth belly contrasts nicely with grass. like the tight crop. good choice if simple colours for model's clothing. Like.
This is a great concept for the challenge, and an interesting angle. The monotone treatment works nicely as well. I am bothered by the crop of the partial face, although I really don't know how to improve upon it at this angle. I can't imagine jewelry in the navel while pregnant :)
