WOW this is an amazing shot! Not much in the way of change / suggestions I could make here. You've nailed this one my friend, congrats on a beautiful portrait that you and the mother to be should be VERY proud of. 10 from me.

I think this could only be improved by editing out her other "cheek". Other than that, I love the lighting and can't BELIEVE how big she is!

What? Only 13th place for such a cool image?!?!? You were robbed!

I'm going to have to copy your idea for a challenge someday. Perhaps I can win a ribbon using your idea!

Electric Dreams of a Passionate Mother

Comment by klstover:
Please tell your wife that she has inspired me. Although children are far in my future, I have been thinking. A natural birth would be hard on my body due to experience in my family, and I want a c-section although of course I'm worried about the scar. But your wife is so sexy. The scar doesn't detract at all from her beauty, and instead says - this is who I am and what I've done, and I am proud. I am so glad that she agreed to do this photo shoot. I also noticed your other picture, where you painted blacklight words onto her (Duality) and the scar really helps add to that shot, telling the story of her motherhood, and making me admire her even more as a mother. So again, if you could please let her know that she is an inspiration, I would be very greatful.

Beautiful image. I don't mind that it's not totally sharp because it helps it look more... real, for lack of a better word. Maybe the background color could have been a bit different, to complement the green better, but I do like the choice of green as symbolic of growth. A tighter crop may have helped some, to give the figure more emphasis. Really great border in my opinion.

I love the concept - it definitely meets the challenge with the sophistication of the different elements. I feel like this would have been so much better without the bra on the left - it just doesn't seem to add anything to the image. Also, I would probably prefer a looser crop on the right. It doesn't seem necessary with the way you have it here, since the bra theme is obvious, but if you had just one bra, it might be that a looser crop would have helped emphasize the it. I love the way that the bra on the left isn't just sitting there perfectly, but is "dented" a bit, that the glass is mostly empty, and the candle looks non-newly lit. These all help to add the sense that we have stepped into the middle of a beautiful story.
