Very dramatic, I really like this, only distraction for me is the highlights are a bit too white, but what an awesome subject and great sky.

a multi-colored begger what a crazy outfit going on there .. lol .. this is pretty cool, the blue up top is a bit distracting .. and for this type of subject I think the lighting could be a bit more dramatic .. moody ..

I have that Art of Happiness book :) The colors and mood is nice here, but the focus is off, unfortunately

Hope for a Responding Hand

The focus is a tad off, as well, the hand is a bit too bright, so it doesn't quite fit the mood of the lovely landscape in the background. It almost stands out too much when it should be as dramatic as the background is

Great job! Idea, model, and composition are awesome. I think that this photo would look good on a higher key white background too, because of the theme you have chosen. She looks like she could be Jessica Simpson's sister ...

Gee this reminds me a lot of Heida's photo minus the garments ... Free Spirit I think! That said, I love this! The pastel colors go just great with the medium colored skin ... the clouds in the back create a very unique horizon .. I have to bump this up a point. I realize I like it more. One tiny improvement - contrast adjustment.

awesome! I'm usually not a big fan of artsy very high contrast photos, but this is too cool! I love how it looks like the shower head is just floating in white space :)

Beautiful model, beautiful portrait, and beautiful baby to be :) I love the soft focus look around the edge of the photo .. border is very appropriate .. and just overall has a very calm, pleasant mood.
