I broke down so I am commenting earlier than I anticipated. You have been busy yourself being midwife and all. Superb DD work here Michelle. It is hot here today, that fountain sure looks inviting. #8852863Jyri Vissak August 21, 2010

A brilliant capture Michelle, but I think you should have let nature take is course! Like Barbara, I prefer the original, but I am not knocking your skillful darkroom work! #8853219Ann Coates August 21, 2010
I love your before and afters and also how you made her go from being pregnant to not being pregnant, very clever. You have a really good eye for capturing a scene and your editing is top notch. Excellent work Michelle. #8853223Barbara Waldoch August 21, 2010
Excellent editing job! (quite a miracle in fact :-) #8853483Brett Dolsen August 22, 2010

Awesome framing on this great street scene Michelle #8854363adrifil August 22, 2010
This framing is stronger than the wide view. We like it as it is, it makes a much better photo.If you hadn't mentioned that you edited the girl's pregnancy we would never guess it. Great job, you really are very skilled at editing. :) #8854494

Wow! I'm impressed by both the usage of 'Liquify' (didn't know it could be used for this!!) and the clarity of the day :O Really cool, Michelle! :D #8855534Lorna Shutter August 31, 2010
I like both images here, Michelle! ... but I love the way the water looks in the tighter crop! You're very bad though ... You shouldn't have taken her baby away from her! Can't you get arrested for that? LOL! Oh, I forgot ... The policeman was too busy begging for money! Ha! Ha! :) #8874100Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
