1 has magic in it, which is what the shot and event is all about, IMHO.

Number 2 is better but if you had a shadow that was less than 1 and more than 2 then it would be the best. # 2 shows all her veins in her leg and it looks like the spotlight is ready for the baby to be born where #1 has a softer more relaxed feel to the moment.

Diana, you are right. I should smooth out the skin so that her leg looks better.

Without a doubt - #1. The lighter area attracts attention. In #2, there is too much light which draws attention away from what your trying to focus on.

Number 1. The highlight draws the eyes to the focal point.

I prefer #2 too. #1 looks like a weird ghoast orb floating on her belly...
