The inspiration for this assignment came from an advertisement I noticed in a mag last week.
In the inspiration image... the wine glass was on a piano, it was night and the reflection of the bar featured in the glass. I loved the concept and so badly wanted to try something similar.
The focus is the reflection of the tree-line in the wine.
I'm learning as I go here!
Appreciate your feedback SO much!

We found a beachside jerk restaurant with many cool murals in Montego Bay. I left the sun's reflection in this shot as a reminder that, during our two weeks, the sun was always shining..
[Why this Photo: This old man with the Tea Kettle was sitting alone alongside a busy road near the Railway Station in Lahore. He sat there completely lost in his own world totally unaware of any goings on around him. I had my camera in my hand but didn't want to take a photo and make him conscious so I got into my car and shot a few candids before I approached him.
While taking the photo I had this overwhelming feeling of being transported to an older era, more peaceful, slower paced, and the desaturated look was an attempt to capture that feeling.
While taking the photo I was also aware of the tombstone like appearance of the wall behind the subject and the framing was done with that and the old man's frail look in mind.]

This truly is one very comfortable tunic, soft and flowy. And, it nicely transforms my stirrup pants outfit (love those stirrups, so comfy) into that of a mom-in-waiting, covering what appears to be a healthy baby bump. So, I haven't worn it out - at least not quite yet.
Wearing this tunic, I've got to be comfortable with presenting as a pregnant woman, since losing my "baby bump" is so tough for me. Warmer weather is just around the corner, so soon I hope to be wearing it with a knee-length skirt, bare legs, and cute ballerinas, or maybe some white capris and strappy flat sandals, to show off a pretty pedicure. I want to blend in with other pregnant women, by wearing outfits similar to theirs.
Guess I'd better prepare myself with answers for all the typical questions I may be asked... Most importantly -- it's a girl!
Update:
Now that I'm wearing stirrups or Capri's, pantyhose, tunics/blouses/sweaters and flats to work every day, I may just surprise the girls one day with this particular tunic. It certainly ought to get a few comments!
