I like the way the foliage moves my eyes to the building. Such a great building, though, seems there must be better views...

I think the second assignment was to put two types of architecture in one picture..?

This is a very photogenic building but I don't see the modern counterpoint; regardless of that, this is a great shot..I love it.

In my opinion, it seems you needed to be a little closer to this house; I get the feeling it is falling away from you and there are too many distracting elements around and above it..color is very good.

good color on the whites, sometimes it's hard to get that just right

You asked for blunt comments so: I hate the background, corners are bad to shoot in, and it is way too busy. Solid black or white would be and improvement. I don't care for the pose. Chairs with arms will really distract from her belly. I think standing works better. If she must sit, maybe a stool would be better. I like the fact that you used side lighting. It seems just a bit harsh. I like natural window lighting for this type of shot, with maybe a white board to reflect some light back on her darker side. A little more makeup and a hairstyle with less loose hair would also help.

I have some pregnancy shots on my profile. Feel free to look at them. Congratulations on the pregnancy, and best of luck. Take lots more pics of her pregnant. I took a lot, but I wish I took more. Hope I wasn't too harsh...just trying to be constructive.

Beautiful!! The lighting is perfect. Nice background. Focus couldn't be more perfect. I feel as if I could reach out and touch the petals. Good job!!

As photos of daylilies taken in-situ this one is a very nice example. It is helped along by the perfect DOF. Nice detail in the almost white petals. And I like the way you gave it plenty of space. (Looks like it could be Ice Carnival, and I can almost smell the perfume.)

nice lighting, a little darker i would say to bring out the highlights. also, a little sharper would help too.

It's truly a stunning image against the blackened background. I'm sure you'll get slams for the flower, but it's independence from any other blooms works for me. 7
