Who cares what score you got? I think you have a great photo that you should be proud of. The woman in the photo should be happy also. I think the grain and the couch blew it. Thats it.
Keep up the wonderful photos :)
Peace

I like the dark tones and I think the grain adds to the warmth and tenderness of your shot. Her pensive expression is wonderful too. You should be proud of this one.

You are a lucky photographer. I have been dying to have the opportunity to photography a pregnant woman. I don't know if my chance will ever come or not, but this is certainly a worthy photo... great stuff :)

Nice shot. It makes you wonder what is on the models mind.

To me, the grain doesn't work on this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/27/2004 03:09:37 PM
I like the grain effect but is it a wise choice on a young pregnant woman ?
Good picture overall.

The grain works for me here...a very expressive photo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/25/2004 10:07:46 PM
pergnate wonen are the best...
I'd get rid of the dots (couch?) and maybe darken the background

This photo has almost a Mona Lisa look to it. The grainy nature actually adds to the look. Good job.

I like grain but in this case it's distracting from the focus of the picture. Maybe a defused glow instead?

beautiful photograph almost a 1920 early photographic feel to it, which I adore!

A Madonna.... beautiful!

Absolutely great...a pregnant woman is just so beautiful...nice pic...but just a little too grainy for me
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautifully composed & executed. Love the soft focus effects! 10+

Love the choice of high grain black and white. Nice pose, nice crop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A nice relaxed image. I think the noise really adds to this image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2004 09:27:32 AM
A very fitting composition!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2004 05:49:06 AM
Very well taken effort. Maybe a touch too much grain I am not sure perhaps 2% too much. I also would have blacked out the background - the pattern is quite a distraction.

All in all though I like this - 2% extra grain or not.

10 for you.

Woderful- A bit less grain would have made this aten for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2004 10:33:45 PM
Very well done, the graininess adds to the picture. Her wedding ring is a great touch. 9

Nice composition and pose, very serene. I've always liked a more sepia color with the grainy effect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2004 06:38:34 PM
I like the grainy feel to this shot. I don't know how it adds to the pic but it really works.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2004 05:36:52 PM
Beautifully done. This is very nice in b&w. I like the added grain as well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2004 04:42:12 PM
Composition and model looks great, good pose.
Like the expression on her face, pleasantly waiting look.
Too much grain for my taste still a 7 from me.

This looks like an old pic from the 20s or so. I like the grain in it and the color overall.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2004 03:12:13 PM
What a beautiful shot. The look on her face is priceless, the detail visible in her left hand, the wedding/engagement ring, the soft focus and grain - it all makes for a package with tremendous visual appeal. An absolutely stunning submission!

Good composion. I like the noise but maybe a little less would of been better recieved.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2004 02:59:56 PM
Very nice shot and composition--but I don't like the grainey texture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2004 01:55:40 PM
Classic. The pose is very reminiscent of the old masters' paintings. Wonderful expression on your model's face. The aded grain enhances the image.

very good - grain, light and all - wonderfully successful cut of the human form

Excellent image. Love the pose, tones, composition and grain. Absolutely love it! Very well done! My top pick! 10.

Very nice! I have had the opportunity to do a photoshoot like this myself. Your model gives a sense of assuredness to this shot and the desaturation together with the grain brings it home.
