Should have used a faster shutter speed to get better silhouette with less detail. Hope the pregnancy is going well.

Too much detail for a silhouette.

This is a poignant moment and well caught. The contemplative look at warm caress... or hiking the belly up for some needed relief... It would have been more effective for me if her face had been hidden in shadow as well.

This could have been a lovely silhouette , but there is far too much light and detail to qualify as silhouette.

Sweet image as always in such a situation, silhouette is not quite but nearly there and personally I think this is fine...

Nice image, but maybe just a bit too much detail. I would have scored this much higher with just a finge of detail around the main subject. Seeing all the wrinkles and the curve in the face is too much detail for me. <5>

a bit blurred, and this doesnt really constitute a silhouette.

Too much detail to be considered a true silhouette. This is more like a profile.

Too much detail, meter the backround, increase two stops and try it again.

nice photo of a very sensitive time. This works well in black and white and the variations of gray. A little darker subject and more detail in the whites would work better for me. 8
