A classic shot, and beautifully done. I'm not sure there's anything more beautiful than a pregnant woman. I'm not 100% sold on the expression on her face... I think maybe something more serene with downcast eyes. Or maybe just pushing that strand of hair back that casts a shadow on her face. That's being highly critical though. It's a great image with high marks from me. Good luck!

nice soft light to emphasise her contours, also on her back. Not sure whether she should be looking away, I would rather expect a tender look downwards (although that would it make a more standard image).

Classic pregnancy picture, great lighting. Only thing that bothers me is where she is staring off camera. I think I would of liked this more if she was looking down towards her belly. Still great pic! 8

Very beautifull photograh, lightning, composition and pose are all perfect. For me best of this challenge.

This is nice. The background detracts from the image in my opinion. I like her expression though. [6]

Lovely shot, the skin tones are very nice. I think the face needs some fill-in light though... the shadows make the expression look a bit severe, which is not what you want in a pregnant portrait! The door behind looks like it could do with some straightening in PS.

Beautiful model, beautiful portrait, and beautiful baby to be :) I love the soft focus look around the edge of the photo .. border is very appropriate .. and just overall has a very calm, pleasant mood.
