Smile God made you for me, and me for you...

Just a shot I converted to Black and White from my recent maternity shoot... took me forever I'll admit, cause I couldn't quite get it how I wanted. I finally got it how I like it, but don't know if it's "right".. which is why I thought I'd share here and not critique! I really love the moment, so I hope you all do too

Excellent shot - it will be treasured by the mother and baby. Like the softness of the lighting. Cheers, Bernz

Very Lovely Capture; Couldn't be better in my humble opinion! The B & W works perfectly!
Thanks for Sharing this

This is a beautiful portrait. One of the best I have seen. Wonderful composition and lighting. Good work!

Excellent lighting! I like the iron rail bed against the curtain as a backdrop

Oh, it's beautiful....I love the dreamy quality! I wish I had some like these when I was pregnant with my own kids. You've done a lovely, lovely job...I know you didn't want critique, but just a slight bump (no pun intended, LOL!) in contrast and a weensy bit up in brightness would make it absolutely perfect.

Gorgeous.
