I wondered about a maternity shot for this & if anyone would submit one.. To me, I thought the voters would DNMC it because obviously there's technically a child there, and DP voters are VERY technical. If I had voted, I wouldn't have cared and I would have voted on the merit of the image only.
In that regards, I think the position is a nice one. I don't really care for the duotone you chose. I think it's a bit harsh for a subject that is soft & gentle. I would have preferred something very subtle. b & w with maybe just a touch of sepia. I also would have chosen to blur out more of the background.. it's a busy background and I think it takes away from your subject. There's a cool tutorial on using channels and the brush tool to blur out the entire image and only paint back in the area you want to be sharp. It gives you a lens baby effect. I think this image would have been perfect for that. Just MHO. :-) |
