8.5 month pregnant

Too bad I did not get the arm in the picture, but overall, I am happy.

Any comments on this? Thank you....

Congrats on a great shot. The use of light is really well executed and the left arm not showing is not bothering. The expression on her face show emotion - well captured!

Wouter,

Very nice lighting. The downcast eyes create a very nice mood.

I'm not sure which arm you wish was in the photograph. It bothers me more that part of her right arm wasn't in the picture. Her right hand is just coming out of nowhere to grasp her stomach. It looks a tad odd (spooky) to me. Her missing left arm doesn't bother me at all.

I know it is common to have a band across the breasts of a pregnant girl, but I don't think it looks good. If you are going to show her bare stomach, I would go ahead and show her bare breasts. It just makes more sense to me. I would think the idea it to show what she looks like when pregnant, so I would go nude or covered -- not just half way.

Your left and right compositional balance is very right heavy. You would have to crop a lot off the left side to get good balance.

Nice shot,

Mark

Thanks Mark, understand your point on the hand and breasts. But sometimes your model has some say in it as well :)
