This shot makes me feel uneasy, first, your model doesn't look real. I know the likelyhood of it being fake is extremely low, but she just doesn't look real. If she is real, you might want to turn down the neat image a bit. I think the background also shows signs of being overly processed. Last, I think the model's pose seems completely uncomfortable. A more relaxed pose even with just the models left arm, might bring the score up quite a bit.

while techically this is a fine image, there is something lacking. Pregancy is a beautiful thing, and i can't help but get the feeling that that element of the image was pushed asside a litte. I will try to explain. The focus and attention is on the models face, and the apple, while the belly seems in a soft focus. It is almost as though the image is of eve and she just happens to be pregant rather than of a beautiful woman with child, that happens to be making a biblical referance. I would have liked to have seen the child within have equal billing to the mothers face - or at least more so than the apple. I hope this made sense (i doubt it did) and blessing for the baby.

The idea of the photo as well as your model are fine. It just looks to have been run through neat image to many times

ooh, waaaay too much processing on her skin. Those hands look like they belong on a manquin. The face is great though.

Her hair and eyes look nice, but when I look at the rest of the picture, she looks like something created in poser. I like the idea that the photographer cared enough to post process this so that any flaws were masked, however, by doing that, she has become something not real, at least to me. Thinking about it, the processing might be a way to create distance between the viewer and the model.
