Beautiful form and processing. Although the posture looks awkward it still looks smooth and doesn't capture the same magic as the awkwardness of "horse" one of my all time favorites. But still lovely and should be a winner.

Magnificent!
The eye/mind connection is sometimes going in so many directions that the words come after a long time. At first, your images brought in my mind the Sicily coat of arms, Trinacria:
coat of arms

Your image is actually "in utero" and its beautiful formality has something of the eternal mystery of man.

Comment by ubique:
This is interesting, and arresting. The head-down-and-ass-up orientation really gives it most of what moderate power it has from a figurative point of view, but from the photographic craftsmanship point of view it's exceptionally good. Sublime, really. I don''t mean to damn the conceptual aspect with faint praise, because the womb allusion is indeed a legitimate one; shocking, erotic, confronting, sacrilegious, political ΓΆ€“ the field of dreams is spread wide open. It's just that it has been done a bit before in various media including using an actual human model, though happily not via Damien Hurst's formaldehyde treatment. But it has not in my recollection been done in two dimensions (especially with a camera), any better than this. Thank you.

The color, textures, and subject are beautiful. The subject is simple and carries a weighty metaphor -
I'm not a fan of the distant look and perfectly made-up face - but hey I'm picky.
