 This is my wife Henny (again) and my 2 years old son Alexander. We are having another baby around March 10th and of course Alexander is very curious about this so this was an easy shot to capture. We told him the baby was talking to him so in this shot his ear is pressed against Henny´s tummy and he was quite distraught that he didn´t hear anything. Hope some of his curious nature comes across with this shot, capturing an emoting scene while not getting a face in the shot is quite tricky and I am glad this challenge made me try it out, hope you like the shot, I do but I am very very biased of course :o)

Lit with a 550ex on the right and a 420ex to the left on tripods with umbrellas, triggered with a remote and the ratio was 2:1 to the 550ex´s favour. Black backround set up on a wall.

Did minimal work with this one, just cropped to 1:1 and a little bit of the top, channel mixer to get it B/W where I used most of the blue channel, used history brush to take out blemishes in the skin and a tweak at levels to make the shadows darker.

WOW! What a fantastic image! This is another image that defies comments or score: it is simply wonderful. Best wishes to your family from ours for another healthy and happy addition to your family!

I would have gut just a few pixels lower so the breasts woud not show. They just distract the rest of the image witch is very good.

I don't like the title. But there is no photo that meets "faceless" as this one. You get my only 10. Hope you win.

On my display there is some artifact on the skin of both subjects that is disturbing. Otherwise I think this is a great phot. Maybe too much post processing?

What a nice picture! But the off the women looks "spotty" (sorry, I don't know the english word for it, hope you understand) I used neatimage on your picture in automode, and the changes were clear to see, the picture looked very smooth. But that is only my opinion.

I've seen a lot of pregnant belly photos recently, partly as I looked into them as I did a shoot for my friend. This has to be my favourite of the lot, it is simply beautiful. 10

This is absolutely TOO cute! I'm not fond of the spottiness, but otherwise, excellent shot!
