I responded to this picture immediately - I thought that while I liked it, the image could be refined a little bit further (e.g. for me, the woman is not quite pregnant enough!). Then I thought, no, it's fine as it is. It's the immediate impact followed soon after by the subtleties that make this photo work.

The light is simple but nice and conveys a nice mood. What gets me is the pose. The subject's body is at a nice angle and her head is bowed down just enough. Her hair falls around her face just so. And the shadows just fall into place.

Lovely girl, lovely picture! Well done.

Thank you very much! Interesting that your initial thought was that the model was'nt 'pregnant enough', because I had the same concern- I would had liked to shoot her further along, but for different reasons that wasn't an option. Several of the poses and angles we tried did not quite work, but this one I did feel came through...:)
