Great shot! Very emotional! It's not real, is it? The girl is just a model, right?

No its not real, it was a setup shot, although I wouldn't say she was just a model either, carefully chosen for talent for her emotional expressiveness.
Thanks for your comment.

the only question is: Is she happy being pregnant or not being pregnant? anyway, well done

I think she is probably happy about being pregnant.  Otherwise, she wouldn't have this dreamy smiling look on her face on the second photo.  Instead she would be worrying.

Ahh, now that I guess would be down to viewer interpretation, I think also it could be interpreted either way, I like to convey emotion in my work, sometimes it works out and sometimes not, this one did I think, thanks for your comment

Wonderdul photo! I doubt it is real. This would be a great image for any stock agency.
My only suggestion is to add a bit more space on top and left (1st photo).
— How was the third shot made? It can't be real

Thank you.
Compositionally there wasn't much room for more space without compromising the holding of the tester, yes it is a setup shot and the subject is indeed a model.
The third shot is indeed a straight shot apart from RAW process, and a minor crop to remove a distracting object (oops) No digital trickery at all.

Is she really jumping in the third shot? It's hard to believe...

It looks like she really is jumping, judging from the hair and the feet. The question is how many times did she have to jump before you caught this perfect shot?

My initial thought is that she was jumping in the studio and was then superimposed into bathroom scene. I just can't imagine jumping like that when there's a ceramic tile below She must be really good at this.

Its not the ceramic tile you have to worry about, a good rug would help, but constricted space. You can knock some stuff down or go sideways.

I have never been in the studio with this model, maybe I will upload a screen grab of the ACR screen.
This shot was in situ in the bathroom as per image except the cropping as previously mentioned, studio shot to scene is one more work flow step, which is something I try to avoid unless specifically for a digital edit.
Just for correctness, any digital work that I do is usually quite apparent and will be mentioned in my upload notes, I would be happy to discuss any of my shooting techniques with anyone that is uninterested.
In the end, if you preplan a shot and get the timing right, it saves time, and that is always a good thing.

To get this shot, Once, she did other jumps, but to go with other shot sets. Its the planning per shot that makes the difference.

I agree that should be more space on top and left (1st photo)., but second and third is perfect ..Those ducks are so sweet..

I just noticed those ducks! Wouldn't it be nice to have 3 ducks on the third shot? Wonder whether having 2 ducks on the second shot was intentional.
