My first "real" maternity shot...C&C please

I have tried this shot before as I thought it was a neat idea, but there was always something "different" about the woman that wouldn't let it work. I finally got someone who understood the concept of the idea enough to keep things the same, to complete the reflection part of the pic and keep it believable. Thanks to Julie for being such a great subject and for putting up with all my direction and keeping the baby in a good enough mood to complete the effect. C&C are requested if you have any ideas that would make the effect more dramatic!

Fixed it!

Very interesting idea. At first it kinda scared me, but then it really started to grow on me. Good job in the execution

Yeah, a little creepy, but pretty cool.

Great idea. I don't think it's creepy at all

Cool idea, feet look a little dark though

I like it I like the concept & the picture.

Very cool idea!

Too much empty space on the left. I would crop it out so the mirror looks a little bigger somehow.

It'd be better if you had a larger mirror that wasn't slanted, that way your photo could look more symmetrical and maybe more dramatic instead of shrinking into the corner.

Interesting concept... some ways that you can bump up the image is to edit it: Crop in tighter, try a vinette or add texture, change color. See sample I whipped up in about 2 mins:

Thanks for the input guys! I definitely want to get a larger mirror and try this again. I agree with the poster about the mirror being straighter but I wasn't able to get everything in the shot with the small mirror I had to work with when I tried to straighten it up. I like the edit as well. Thanks again.

That is one cool idea :d

I think I'me gonna steal that idea (a)

How cool! Love it.

neat idea, but kinda creepy in a way. make the pic more dreamy like and it might be better.
