Lonely Pregnant Woman on Swing
by StevePax

Comment:
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 shot is BY FAR the best shot in the challenge IMO, hope it gets the ribbon! I really like the way his eye is looking too, strengthens POV. Great whiskers, well done!

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

Well the highest compliment I can give you is that this looks like a beguin shot, fabulous light, texture, mood, composition. Very well done, I expect a high finish for you. (If this is a benguin is this taken on the new 828?)

Great lighting, composition and the smoke of course adds great depth and interest, tho it looks like he is thinking about eating the cig. vs. smoking it : ).

I have a real personal envy of this shot, I tried several times to do a similar shot and could not get the lighting right, you managed a very nice warm glow, well done.
