LOVE dramatic belly shots! Would have liked a little deeper DOF so that her breasts/face/neck/hand were a little sharper. But then again, her belly is the focus!

Probably one of the best ways to display the beauty of pregnancy.
Well done on the lighting and the tones.

This is about the best maternity shot I've seen ever. You've made the most beautiful tones and well, it's just a great image. Congratulation if this is your child!

I'm fascinated by the convention of showing the wedding ring for nude pregnant shots. It's kind of a submissive gesture in the midst of an otherwise brazen display of feminine power. "See, look, I had some help." Or maybe it's, "see? the baby's official. the baby's accounted for." I think maybe it seems more odd when you're not even showing the face of the pregnant woman. Maybe you're trying to make a statement about traditional families, but then again traditional families don't go showing their privates. Oh wait, *photography* comments... well, you clearly know how to light a subject. No blown out areas, just enough highlight to make out the form and show texture.

the soft light works ok but maybe if there was just a little more of it.
