My first posting! I'd love to read any kind of critique of this shot but I'm particularly curious about if the effect of the shot (composition, lighting and pp) seems successful or desirable. Any feedback would be most welcome!

EXIF:
Canon rebel xsi
Sigma 50mm 1.4 lens
Manual mode
No flash
Aperture 1.4, Shutter 1/60

I think it's a lovely shot! I like the lighting, very soft. I like the emotions portrayed. The only thing that I would have done different is to have the bottom hand a little lower so as to frame the belly, but that is just my personal preference. And what do I know. :-) I think it's a great shot!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try some with the hands framing the belly - great idea. And I love your flickr page. Very nice shots!

I think it's very good...
My only real negative is her expression...it's not peaceful or happy enough. It kind of looks a little "concerned" to me. If she were gazing out into the light (future) it would seem more contemplative. Looking down at her belly she should be obviously "happy/peaceful", at least that's my take.

the composition is good and i love the low key
