swinging high

I really love the colors. A lower crop, showing more of the bright green trees, would be interesting. Unless you were trying to crop something out :o)
The chairs seem a tad out of focus. If you couldn't get a fast enough shot to freeze the motion then you might consider taking a slower one and taking advantage of the blur. Just a suggestion. I have no idea how it'd look.

I like to see someone take a chance and tilt the camera. Nice job.

Nice lighting. You came very close to completely eliminating the shadows which makes the whole scene seem like it's floating. Having them all on one plane and shooting from this angle adds to that effect. It's simple, clean, and high-key (the opposite of my submission this week). I like the subject, and it is technically very good. It would make a nice stock shot, but for some reason it doesn't have a lot of emotional pull for me. ~indigo997

AHA! This is pretty funny because this is what my mom's cookies looked like - a little too dark for my taste. Focus on the cookies seems a tad soft.

I like the high-key lighting. That blue in the background is nice. Too bad you couldn't reposition to get more of it in the shot. Nice focus on the cereal (sugar in a box). Bumping this one up because it's growing on me. ~indigo997

I really like this one. It captures the theme well. Also like the B&W. A different angle that prevented cutting the top off of the other bus would be nice.

The color makes this one stand out.

Wow, what a big kid *wink* I like the angle you chose. Being able to see the wood chips is cool. Not crazy about the crop. I think you should have tried gettin the whole swing set in the shot. Swinging just isn't as much fun when you grow up, is it? The swing competition is tough in this particular challenge. Good Luck! ~indigo997

This shot just isn't appealing to me. It's not the subject matter, but the execution of the idea. I don't like the coloring (purple?), and it's hard to really tell what he's holding.
