The swings were my favorite in any playground. I'm no longer there. But the swing is.

Nice use of colors. The moving swing makes it even better. 7.

I think the direct shot hurts the depth of field. I do like the one swing swinging... adds interest.

Interesting shot - I like how the red and blue really stand out, and also the one swing in movement, but I would have liked the composition much more if the shot had been cropped just enough above the moving red swing to crop the house out. lhall

I like the fact that your swing is in motion............that sets it apart from the other swing photos

I like how there is one swing out in the photo. It's not just a photo of a bunch of swings. I like the difference in colors as well. There is some busy-ness in the background, but not your fault, if we could all choose our backgrounds, I'm sure we would. Lighting, angle and focus are great. I am wondering of you off centered it on purpose. I think it would be nice either way. Off centered, or off set. great job and good luck in the challenge.

the background is a little distracting. great idea though ;-)

I do like the fact you have one of the swings in motion - definitely adds something. I think that the other swings are too obscured by the chains, perhaps a viewpoint just slightly to one side would improve this? I'd also prefer the tops of the A frames to show as they are almost in shot and such a strong shape that my eyes are lead up to where they would be - out of shot!

I like the idea of the single swing moving.

Perhaps some motion blur would have been nice - did you try it?
