Delicate Condition

Comment by SteveJ:
The concept is good, altho it is a fairly standard setup. This genre of photos will always find a place in portfolios.

Your execution is good, the lighting is a touch harsh across the vest top and top of the 'bump', but these are notoriously hard to light as they tend to dominate the shot:) I like the facial lighting, background and body poses, but there is a bit too much grain and the focus is slightly off. Neither of these are too serious to make major impact on scoring, however DPC members do like sharp shots.

I would have scored this a six, almost a seven.

I probably would have given it a 6. It is a bit too soft for my tastes and the front lighting is just a bit too harsh but it does fit the challenge well. :)

We were in front of a good size picture window. Natural light is always so nice! I had a rod with sheer curtains that I put up to diffuse the light even more, and also to give a bit more privacy! (especially in the skimpier outfits!) It all looks nice and proper in the photos, but somethings were nipped and tucked a little more bare than others! LOL

Excellent job on the presentation. This looks wonderful, and I am sure will make a perfect print. I think the choice of photos was great as well as the background choice.

This is one of my favorites of your maternity photos. I love the clasped hands with the rings. Very nice.
