Baby mama for C&C

[Sue5606]

How is this for composition, lighting and PP? I did PP in The PS app for iPad as my computer is on it's way out. Most of my photography education is from reading on TPF so give me some good constructive criticism (please and thanks!).

Now that I look again, she could use more fill flash on her face...

Is that a ginormous stick insect behind her? She seems pretty nonchalant about it.

the vines in the fore ground are too distracting and more fill light on her face would have been better. Also IMO if the hands would have been placed under the belly it would have pronounced the belly more.

Is this edit better?

 

[tirediron]

The edit does improve the exposure somewhat, but overall the image should be reshot. As mentioned, the foreground foliage is distracting, the placement of the hands minimizes the belly, her clothing is wrinkled, her hair needs to be attended to, and it's difficult to tell what she's holding in her hand. The basic idea is sound, but the execution is lacking. I would suggest a do-over, paying close attention to the small details.

Hands under the belly create better lines.

Photoshop that branch out /(or remove it for the reshoot)
