Mothers touch

This was taken a month before due. It's her first child and she wanted to take some

pregnancy photos. Hope you like it too

The technique (flared sunlight) is the star of this image and the subject is secondary.  Versions of this effect work well in some of the other photos in your gallery but not so much here.  As part of a collage this image might be a good addition, but as a stand-alone image I have a hard time getting past the flare.  Expectant mothers have a universal appeal so kudos on the subject and pose and use of space.  The portrait technique is ultimately up to each photographer to determine what they like and what speaks to them.  Good luck.
