Finally...a photo that matched the "picture" in my head I was trying to achieve!
I immediately thought of my pregnant coworker, Aimee, when I saw the "Waiting" challenge. She graciously allowed me to have a photo session with her and her husband, which was a first for me. I am just very pleased with how the photos turned out. We had to practically rearrange her kitchen to find the window spot I wanted. Thanks Aimee!

This is a fantastic shot. The soft lighting is perfect-o, and I'm always a sucker for black and whites. :)
I like the textures in the hands, too. Very nice.
This deserved a higher score.
It conveys what life is all about, the sensuality and
softness of the image shows the innocence of the life within
the woman. I love the idea and execution.
Having recently had a baby in our family, this one hits really close to home. I like how you have included the father's hands here - it shows the love of an entire family. A really great feeling comes from this shot. The contrast in the B/W conversion is nice as well.
Congratulations, Judy, on placing in the Top 10! I remember how anxious you were for this challenge to start as you were so pleased with your picture. I'm really happy for you it did so well.
I wanted to do something like this, but my wife is only four months pregnant. You've captured a very moving photograph. I hope others recognize how nice this really is. 10
