Greetings from the Critique Club -
Its been a while since I have done one of these so bear with me. ;)
First off - congrats on the upcoming addition!
I think this shot easily meets the challenge. Nice simple composition leaving no distracting elements to the shot works well. The lighting seems a bit harsh on her belly compared to the drop off shadows on the right side. I wish it was just in general a bit softer. Other than that the editing is clean and there really isnt a whole lot that comes to mind that is bad about the image. I see you scored a 6 which is a decent score. Overall it probably lacks the wow power needed to get the higher scores - but I am sure you with your DPC experience you are aware of that.
At the same time though, being someone who specializes in shooting his own family, I can feel pretty comfortable in saying that this shot is a family keeper. Whats cool about these challenges is that it allows us to document moments in our lives in ways that we probably would not have done without DPC. Work like this stands above any score that can ever be given to it.
Congrats again!
