Great shot, by far the best in this challenge IMO! I love the snow on his chin, crossed paws, intent expression, not to mention the clarity and sharpness of moving animal, and even the snow is exposed perfectly.

Lonely Pregnant Woman on Swing

Greetings from the CC. I like your subject, I think pregnant women make radiant subjects. Your shot conveys a real simplicity and subtle beauty. Her face really conveys all the feelings of pregnancy, lots of emotion. I think your shot shows a longing for the child to be swinging with her. However I would of cropped a significant amount off the top, at least to the fence and maybe a bit off each side to help maintain the shape dimensions. Losing the right top (over-exposed) would of helped a lot too. This is not probably a wow photo, but I think it is a personally appealling shot (more so to her family and friends) tho it does have a very human element to it. Hope that helps a little, keep shooting.

This is a potentially very nice shot, a little too tightly cropped on right and bottom.
