That was one of those sudden idea kind of things that occurred on the spot...we squeezed in between the families lining up for their photos all around the Tidal Basin and took that one quick snap before heading off for lunch. Afterwards I wondered if that might be a cute gimmick along the lines of those folks who dragged that old chair (rocking?) around the country photographing it, or those folks who carried those stuffed animals around photographing them in front of tourist attractions...why not the pregnant belly in front of Mount Rushmore, or wherever? Anyway, I won't be doing it for this pregnancy, but maybe next time! I see what you mean about the face, but I'd actually been wondering about going in the opposite direction and cropping in tight: http://www.duke.edu/~ajs2/PAW/2005_15/images/00950018crop.jpg (original here: http://www.duke.edu/~ajs2/PAW/2005_15/images/00950018.jpg) >p.s.
