I love it ! High marks.

King said 417 days ago:

This has a bit of a Vernon Trent quality--nicely designed, clear point of focus, shallow depth of field, somewhat abstract.

In enjoying this image, I really want to know what that off-white, curved, textured tube is. I could guess and guess, I guess, and not get it right.

My hunch is that this is not a posed photograph. If it were posed, I would be a bit more critical about some of the finer points.

High marks, on average.

Thanks for the comments!

This is about as candid a photo as they come. A simple caption would be helpful: "In Labor".

Heh, I put the camera down shortly after this... the risks became too great... both to my camera AND to my personal well-being. :)

Oh, Great! Please tell more.

This was taken about 3-1/2 hours before my second daughter was born. It's one of the few pictures I'm allowed to post. :)

High marks across the board. The composition and dof as well as the colors pull it all together for my eyes.

From the thumbnail I thought she was holding a steering wheel. Now it looks like something else that you could use in the back seat of a car. A thought-provoking image that I like.

George said 417 days ago:

Boy I feel like a maroon :P

I could swear I recognized the ring from a previous shot, but I think I'm wrong...

I like the creamy colors.

pursang said 416 days ago:

George, I too thought she was holding a steering wheel, so don't feel like the Lone Ranger! Tracy told me that is was not a steering wheel. This image is so warm and sensual. But being in labor is anything BUT sensual...!

I knew what this was right away..wonderful! Congrats!

Pog,

Congratulations and welcome to WeeklyShot. Nice start.

Who are you? I like your web blog, but you are very tight-lipped about yourself.

I also like your way of commenting.

Thanks everyone!

King,
I've been pog (or some derivative) for long enough online that it's become who I am, in a sense. I could have gone with "Jimmy" but then there'd be no continuity from one forum to the other. :)

However, I'm not bashful... I even have 2 self-portraits online:

Most of the people photos on my site are of friends and relatives. Most of the scenes are from my area... so, looking at those, I think you could know a lot about me! :)

I'm still pretty new to photography... it's only been a couple of years really. I came here to this site via Tom here. Rather, several steps from Tom but I know them all between me and Tom. :)

King said 415 days ago:

pog...so your first name starts with "A"? When the next "Baby" them rolls round you are going to have a devil of a time narrowing your best down to three.

I used to be a Pentax (film) man, myself.

King,
Heh... my first name actually IS Jimmy. LOL! :)

King said 414 days ago:

Hey, Jimmy! Nice to meet you.
