Thoughts on maternity sihlouette

... It's a posed image in an unposed setting. grrrr...

Nailed it in one!

Should I leave it out of the set?

Not really for me to say, but it does seem a bit out of place.

The second set are really great!

But I want someone to tell me what to do lol!! I think I'll leave it in the series just because my contact at the hospital said to err on the side of too many pictures.

It was a fun session, as a matter of fact, by the time we were done and I returned home (about 45 minutes away), I got a text telling me our little photoshoot had put her into labor. So as per my contract, I jumped back into the car and drove the 45 minutes to the hospital to photograph her birth story.

My opinion is that you should leave it out of the set.

I do get what you were trying to do but for me it's too underexposed on your subject for a partial silhouette (where to my mind some of your subject needs to be properly exposed) and too overexposed to be a proper silhouette. The result makes your subject look too muddy.

In a comparison with your photos in post 13 and 14 (which are really excellent) I'm afraid the first one just doesn't cut the mustard for me I'm afraid.

I do think it's a look that's worth exploring though, but with partial lighting exposing some key features of your subject could be remarkable but not quite managed here.

Absolutely NOT! Now that you explained the purpose of the series, and showed us more images, I think that one is tops!

Oh, and don't remove anything in the background, it all contributes to the feeling of being at home.

Yeah, I would leave it IN the set. I think it's a great picture! I'm sure she'd love to have that one!

I think I can play with some curves in PS and bring out some of her features. I shot in RAW, so there is a lot I can do to pull out some features.

Yes, it should be easy enough to pull up the shadows if you haven't already.
