Rare Composition

Maybe this isn't for everyone. But for me, it's beautiful. It combines two of the most beautiful things - an incredible sky and a pregnant woman.

The composition itself is noteworthy, in that it allows the viewer to focus either on the pregnant woman in the foreground or the glory of the sky and sea in the background.

The two components complement each other so well.

And then there's the look in Karen's eyes (I know her name because Eric, the photographer, identifed her in his notes as his wife). The connection between her and her baby, that almost incomprehensible relationship (at least to me, as a man) and to the glory of the world, is compelling.
