"Femininity" Critique - Oriana and Ava

oriana-and-ava.jpg

Nothing suggests femininity like a gorgeous mother cradling her beautiful baby against her luscious breasts, but since this is a close up, we have no idea what her breast size is. It's both torturous and excruciating for the viewer and ultimately that's the point of the photograph! The only thing more feminine than being a mother is being a tease. That being said, if you were really serious about the theme, you should've captured the baby breast-feeding, as that is the more daring and intimate way to show a strong, powerful woman in her natural element, while simultaneously demonstrating the most ancient and intrinsic of all human connections.
