Why beheaded the mother?

That's what I felt... honestly...

cannot meh? why concern on other thing if we want to enlight the father feeling? why cannot chop mother head if we want to make it mysterious? like, who is the mother? it can makes people see further ur picture just to know who is the mother... well that my thought.

bro how about 17-50 vc perform at wide open? a bit soft?

Well, that's just my perspective as I mentioned. Photography is very subjective, it never has everything right or wrong.

For me, pregnancy shots bring the feeling of "family" and "togetherness". Given it's me, I would prefer to put all of them in. Otherwise to make the highlight of father's feeling, I would only capture most the "stomach" part.

Again, that's just me. Perhaps your client like it that way

hi guys.......looks like I've gotta problem.

D7000 + 18-200mm VR 1st gen.

ok so what happend is this. last used them during Cheer 2011. took bout 2 to 3k shots. no problem. came back, keep in drybox at 44%. (focus might be at between 3 to 1)

today, took it out. try to AF, focus only moves from infinity to between 3 to 1 and after that can hear the motor go bzzzzzzzzz. tried turning focus ring also stuck at between 3 to 1. after a few times, now it turns from infinity to 0.5. (maybe grease hardened coz too long didnt use?)

but anyway, it still doesnt sound as smooth and fast as usual. (can I send back to nikon for service + greasing?)

now another prob. VR doesnt seem to be working. when I switch on the camera, it goes "tak tak tak". After that I tried leaving VR ON at the lens, when I half-press the shutter, usually there'll be a click and then u get the high pitched sound.

Now what happens is, I hear "tak tak tak" and then the high pitch sound. From the viewfinder, I can see the whole thing shift "down down down". Same time with the tak tak tak sound. Any ideas??     

Thanks in advanced for all your suggestions and wise words from experience.

@celciuz know anything or experience something similar before? 

I would shoot a tighter crop for this. But since your client loves such style, so its ok I guess. This reminds me of a similar photo, posted sometime ago here too. Wedding day and 1 row of people got their head beheaded cropped off.
