i think if it's about a 'she' that longs for something, 'she' also needs to be in the shot. this -- very nice -- shot doesn't seem to be about her or about 'childless', it is much more about 'childful'. what i'm saying is that the title doesn't belong here at all, imo. 8.

The sharp focus on the hand but soft focus on the face along with the B/W emphasizes the title of not having a baby.

Awwwww. . ..and that unfulfilled longing could also fall under the nightmare category too, huh? There's nothing quite so sad.

This is a great concept for this challenge. And I like the processing for a dream scene.

a poignant photograph which makes me sad for ppl who cant have a child .. i imagine it could be a torturous place to be .. but often its the 'things' we want but cant have that teach us the most important lessons in this life .. your focus on the hands is a master touch and i love the b&w .. the grain works too ... =8
