Hi Alexandra
Let us know what post-processing you did to get this effect.
Overall the light is good but a few flares here and there from the overexposed background. Good use of noise and blurring. Points given for the lower 1/3rd of the photo only - the top portion makes me uncomfortable.

Hi Alexandra, i think the noise in this really promotes the feel and meaning of the picture. :)

hmm, i like the context and the subject of this photograph, having said that I think the pov here is great but I think the blur and the burn that happens to be in this effect works against the shot.

The grain is quite artistic, and the picture shows a good balance of dark/light-amounts, so it's well composed/cropped.
Good work Alexandra !

a very very nice portrait. Great compo, superb idea to set it to B&W with grain. Very well done! A pregnant women is very beautiful and you really express that in this shot. Sexy and she really feels confident.

hi alexandra,
i like the portrait you've captured here. most of the pregnant shots i've seen are intimate and calm but i find this one sexy even it has a bulge. the grain added interest plus the contrast of clothing and skin (background as well). tfs.

Dear Alexandra
What a nice idea of you to share your blessed situation with us in TL! The continuing miracle of giving life and birth ..The contrast here is good so well done and a late welcome to Treklens ^_^
You will get my points later and bye for now.

I think it's brilliant! First the framing is very well chosen.
1/ The fact that her belly points on the right bottom side of the pic talks about the near future of the baby that soon will be out ;o)
2/ The B&W is very sensuel, so as the pose of the mother with her hand pulling up the shirt.
3/ The grain and "blur" is very well done here. It gives also a feeling of a radioscopic view! Instead of seeing the foetus, we see it from outside with the same impression of intimacy.
BRILLIANT !! ;o)
Sincerly,
Pris.
