Baby Belly - It's a Boy!

I was inspired by a similar image and tried my own view of it. Do you think it's current or unique?

Inspired by this?? haha kidding:

On a serious note, the one thing I don't like is her hand.. it should have been either composed out or she simply should have moved it, it's a bit distracting from the main attraction!

In the end, it's a nice shot and well done, but it's not original nor unique as I've seen this a million times.

You have to ask yourself before doing something like this, "how can I make it different? "how can I make it mine?" That's how I came up with my version above and I'm proud to say I've never seen something like it. I'm not saying there isn't, just that I've not seen one which means (I hope) that it's a lot more unique and original...

But also, in the end it's the client that matters, and if she's happy, who cares if every other woman alive has had it done.
I also did the same "shoe" thing.. but I tried to do it a bit different by changing the way it was set up from the way I usually see it:

thank you for the feedback! I always seem to have what I think are great ideas when I'm not shooting. Then once I get my subject, sometimes I choke and can't seem to get creative at all. I'll keep working on it. :-)

I do think its unique. If I was pregnant, I would ask to have this done now having seen this photo. Its very beautiful, and lets the viewer also know the gender in such a cute little way. Great job.

This is very nicely done. The shoes are so fitting yet not common at all; they make for a great props in this type of photo.
