I'm not a fan of crooked pictures especially with a belly cause it looks a little like she is falling but I like everything else about it! The colors are nice!
Snady :thumb
my money well spent
Nikon D4, D3s, D3, D700, Nikkor 24-70, 70-200 2.8 vrII, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4, 105mm macro, sigma fisheye, SB 800's and lots of other goodies!
For me, I'm not a fan of the angle on this shot.
Also: not a fan of the dramatic difference in brightness toward the lower left: too distracting and draws away form the subject.
I thought the red color was fine, and the white shirt covered with a dark blazer/jacket was a good move: it emphasized the belly, which is half the subject of this image (I think) (and note: I'm being figurative here, so don't take that comment wrong.)
Come to think of it: had the shot been tipped to the back (so she was laying down), I think it might have worked better.
The door hinge leading almost into her head and the knot hole behind her are tough, too.
Beautiful woman.
Nice hair and makeup.
lighting good to emphasize her.
contrasts good (except above mentioned).
"if it bends, bend it" good
OK, I hope that wasn't TMI. Or too direct.
(Please forgive me if either is true; I've not written my comments/critique on DGrin before, only in my local photo group and the associate forum. If someone's got a C&C of my C&C, I'm up for it.:D)
If responding to a picture I've posted: please, provide constructive criticism. Destructive criticism can go take a flying leap.
If we don't know what could be improved or could have been done differently, we'll never know how to get better at what we're doing.
It's best summed up as, nice shot, wrong angle. Like the colors and pose.
Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them. Educate yourself like you'll live forever and live like you'll die tomorrow.
Hi Jessica,
Love the colors in this shot. The mix of her clothes against that awesome wood color is a great mix.
I am not a huge fan of the tilt in people pics. It might work here if it was just a smidge..not quite so much.
Nice job!
The picture is tilted? I thought I was still drunk!
Yes, too much is anything past just enough and I'd say this could be backed off quite a bit. I think a skewed angle is generally implying whimisical or goofy (two things I am intimitely familiar with) and something about a pregnancy shot makes me think it should be shot pretty conventional.
Also for my own taste I would bump the contrast up a hair, it would be too easy to go overboard as it's already pretty good but a little would make things really pop.

Everything else looks perfect to me!
