i can't put into words how amazing it is to consider the wonders of birth and how well designed a woman is to be the vessel for this. (nice shot too)

There's a story here...I think the black and white works. I go back and forth about the shadow on his face - typical photography 'rule' would have it not there, but I think it adds to the story the photographer is trying to convey, title aside. I think though, that this could use a little distance - moving a little further away would keep me from feeling so pressed against the scene, unable to tak it all in at once. 6

The wording on the boards "Kosovo" together with the bombed out building in the background gives this image a whole different dimension, meaning and impact.

I like your low angle here. I think it really emphasizes the pregnant belly and make it the subject of the iamge. A beautiful maternity portrait.
