    Fun candid, Heather!! It definitely captures the moment. I might try a square crop to bring the ladies in the background closer to us. That would let the mom-to-be and her friend - both of whom are turned away from the camera - provide a frame for the other two while giving us enough information to understand their expressions.

    PS - Glad to see you posting here!!

    I'm going to agree with Virginia here and vote for the square crop. That should bring things in nicely. I do think you've done a great job on the exposure in a pretty harsh situation, though. Yeah the background is blown and you've lost some darks in the foreground but the balance is quite nice. thumb.gif

    Wonderful capture of a mundane, yet at the same time very special, moment. And I agree with the crop suggestions. clap.gifclap.gif
