I'd like some critique on this image from posing to cropping to lighting to editing-anything that you can give me to make my next session as successful as possible, I promise to take every piece of critique and use it to my advantage.

The comp is good. The lighting is well paced. I like the exposure, it is balanced.the post processing suggests serenity imbedded in anticipation.
Without altering the light scheme, i would leave the keylight where it is, but add a hair light and place it behind the model and point it at the model (out of camera view), power about 2/3s of the key light's power.
The image transmits its own message, and evokes confusion in some and validation in others.

Beautiful pose and capture. Personally, I find the lighting a bit "hard", but this could be brought down a tad in post. The subject is wearing a lot of makeup - likely her choice, perhaps a Gaussian blur could be applied or some other softening, to smooth that out a bit. It is a lovely shot. Thanks for sharing.

I think its lovely.. The only thing I would suggest is to reduce the shadow a sccotch on her nose but that could be debated

Looking at your photography and lighting techniques, you could teach a lot of people on this forum including myself about photography.

A bit more light on her thighs I think, she looks a tad top heavy...but a great image all the same..

Interesting, and well done. A topic of art since the paleolithic - a tribute to the survival of humanity. If guys had to go through pregnancy, there wouldn't be a problem with population. Speaking strictly as a geezer!

Overall, very nicely done - I think I might (as already mentioned) crop a bit at the top and open the shadows just a bit on her back/shadow side - should be able to do mostly in post or with reflector..

Very moving
excellent composition
would like to lighten the shadow on the nose
a hair light on the top of her head would add, but not completely necessary

Maggie, to my eye I see nothing that could have been done any better. The image is beautiful

Very nice. As already mentioned I would crop the top and left side.
