this is my first grandchild to my eldest daughter
Wonderful and a beautiful fact of life...they call it labor for a reason I will say that I would have done a little cropping the message would have been the same
fantastic and rare work!
Oh my, congratulation for the new born, what an amazing moment to share later.
well done author, as has been said, a rare and wonderful moment. My son was delivered this way, but cameras were not allowed.... a brave shot, I hope the mods see it as we do !!
what a beautiful baby! Amazing capture of the beginning of life
The miracle of life...I had some doubts in the begining(i saw the photo before it was removed for the first time),some mixed feelings of what this photo represents.I think of it very well before i write this comment.I am not a father or a mother & maybe i can't understant the "beauty"in this...& i apologize for this.For me is a shocking capture & i can't see the "beauty" through the beholders eyes.I agre with cropping it a bit & that is a rare moment & it means a lot for you.Sory if i am hard on you (that's not my intention).I wish you & the baby the best.God bless you all!
The miracle of life in the making! A great picture!
First removal has been necessary because of a technical issue and I don't think there are any issues with this picture. Well, if people want to make us forget where we all came from, that's not in the tradition of European photography. Simply a great documentary shot "to the point" -- and I think the crop puts things into the right perspective. Leave the Burqu to the arabs.
i have read all of these comments, which are all valid. i am a father of two and have never witnessed the miracle of birth. i thankyou so much for sharing this pic as i would never have believed such an image could bring a tear to my eyes. i wish you and the baby all the very best and you are both in my prayers. once again thankyou so much for sharing x
I am a father of two and have witnessed this, but it is a bit too close for me. But then again, I faint when I get blood drawn. Wish the best to both kid and mom.
Really great photo
Oh Baby! An amazing capure of a truly wonderful moment. I will show this to my pregnant daughter!
not for me . dislike . not for this contest.
Wonderful, brave and motivating shot, Author...hat's-off to you!!! Well done! I'm on your side...(father of 5...been there for all!)
we can have f--koff on a door and it was stated its the norm these day, well women have been giving birth this way for a very long time, so i would say good on u, i have only had one and i would love to have a photo like this to show to everyone
ouch great shot i have had two kids good thing i didnt see this first there may have been none really is a beautiful shot of life
Great shot, Congratulations to the photographer and the parents.
this is a wonderful enty
I think this is an amazing image even though I feel uncomfortable with it ... and I have had 4 children. Brave image, well done AUTHOR and praise for the bravery of the mum for allowing it. Well done.
would be better in contest for body parts, birth, warning graphic content . baby's are normal but wrong content. crop it please.
The art of photography is not just about shooting 'pretty' things......it is about real life. This the start of real life, and deserves a place here. If you don't like it, don't look at it!
well its a technically a good shot (yes) great for medical books. So can we have circumcisions the too, make it a good close up. Keep medical photos to to medics.
I am a mother and think this is WONDERFUL ART and it is BEAUTIFUL! I don't have a problem seeing a baby coming out of a close-up vagina in a picture, but at the same time...this is a body part that should be shown only on a site that is adults only. My son looks at pictures on here with me and now I don't feel comfortable him sitting next to me while looking through the contest Sorry--awesome and beautiful art in this picture, but it could have been cropped about an inch and a half at the bottom and been good for any site. Close-up vagina=xrated site-----I hope your daughter is okay with it
