A New shot C&C

Coleman Photography

Wanted to get some C&C on this shot.

I really like the intense expression.. its a genuine projection of how most hugely pregnant women feel..lol. IMO.. the background has too much texture and Is distracting.. I can see orange trees in distance.. I think that may have been a better choice if you didn't want to blur the backdrop. Plus something about fruit and pregnancy seems symbolic to me. I also think that the brighter background is also throwing off the exposure.. making her a little darker than real life.. I'd like to see her pop..(no pun) a little more so that she is the focus and my eyes know right where to go.

just my humble opinion.

Here you go:

• BG is too bright and textured, hance, as it's been already mentioned, it draws too much of attention to itself. Especially the white things at 2 o'clock.
• Light is both flat and unflattering: check the shadows under the eyes.
• Having the subject dressed in black top essentially makes this picture about everything else *but* her pregnancy...
• Dead center composition doesn't work here (frankly, it rarely does)

Sorry, no "pros" todays, "cons" only...
