maternity portrait...

[nitrowigie]

hey guys wanting some c&c. i am mainly wondering about the composition... this was shot at f5.0, ISO 100 at 1/30 sec with a panasonic gf1 and 20mm f1.7 lens. I am wanting to advance in my portraiture so any input would be great!

Hey

I like the concept of the shot, i would have opened up to let more light in, taking the detail outside the window out of the equation.

As for the composition, maybe half a step back to take it into the hairline and straighten up, the post to the right of tge subject distracts because its not vertical.

In short, i would have shot around f2.8 and ISO400 or so bringing up your shutter slightly.

I like the intimacy of the shot though and its a great effort.
