Very sad and thought provoking. Say it isn't so, but I fear it is. (well done)

The Swings

Best of the swing shots. Nice angle and the colors complement each other. The angle of the poles somewhat distracting but if straitened, the chains on the left would be off. I don't know which would be better.. otherwise I like the framing.

I like this a lot but it looks a little washed out to me. Try using ND filters if you can get them for your camera. About a number 4 and I think it will darken the colors for you. You have framed it perfectly.

Challenges of childhood "Should I go for it???"

NO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! GET OFF THE TRACKS NOW ! Good grief boy. What are you thinking? A train comes by and you're nothing but a bloody mess for someone to have to clean up.
Why is there a child in this photo? I like it a lot and the rules says "children" so I guess one child is ok. It looks like almost nothing is in focus either. I have no idea why I score it 8. I guess it's because it is such a good idea and I don't know what I would have focused on either.
After reading your post I am back to review. conclusion---You obviously wanted us to think it is a child ,the title and attire of the person lead me to that conclusion. Would you not agree? What would make one think otherwise?+++no change in score. good luck

Independence!
