I worked in a studio for the very first time. It was really great and I'm pretty excited about the results that came out.
This is the belly of a good friend of mine, pregnant with twins.
After selecting this photo: edited some basics in RAW-editor, slight crop, adjusting levels, saturated all a little, desaturated green, yellow & cyan, added some contrast.

Does this meet the Challenge: Yes, I think this is a great photo. The light on white is great in this photo! The plastic wrap is very different but very cool!
The only thing I can see wrong with the photo is the top of the hand is a little blown out. And I mean a little! The color of the hand is right on! I think light on white was a hard challenge..Congrats on your 33 place!
I like this photo; I was looking at it several times and first i didn't exactly know what does it tell me; still, i had to come back and look at it; the baby's new life and mother's life is re-newing as well? well, i gonna add this to my favorites - maybe there is more details in your description.
7 - Whilst no expert on 'highlight control' re the Challenge, seems to me you have done very well to not 'blow' any surface. It is a 'weird concept', the plastic (or maybe I just don't 'get it'-unless it is a giant slingshot), but it does have create a certain impact here. Criticism; not much, obviously an 'artistic' type take, so it is pretty much your own thing, but 'technically', maybe a little different lighting, not sure. I mainly concentrated on the skin tone of the hand and the highlights v the white background there and seems 'well done'.
i like this. very creative and thought out entry. I wonder what this would have looked like with a opaque plastic.....just an idea. good luck :o) ~~Cher~~
