I truely like this idea - the bright yellow of the swing seat transports our eyes the way it transports you to "this wonderful place" up in the air. Ilike the chain coming don from the top corner adn the swing seat from the bottom, meeting right on that thirds line. I think it would work much better if the chain stood out better from the background. Right now it blends in so that you eye has to fight to see it. You could try to light the woodchips to brighten them - or photoshop a selection afterward.

Very nice yellow. The chain and soil are also quite well rendered. A9.

Yes, a unique subject! =)
I like how you've shot this.. interesting angle and nice yellow reflections on the chain.

I like the line of the balls and the effect the shadows create. The lighting/glare hurts the sharpness of this, and the coloring seems a little bland and washed out. Cool concept though.

I like the lighting. I think that's what makes this shot good for me. The 7th ball almost gets lost back there, but still visible. the focus and DOF are really good, shadows add interest to the shot as well. My only little problem is that the balls all seem solid in color except the 3rd one from the front. that's a bit of a distraction as it really stands out in the crowd. a nice simple shot though. I like it. ~Heather~

I think the lighting could be inproved, maybe lift it up alittle so the shadowa are not so long,

There are a lot of little reasons I shouldn't like this but the whole transcends the parts. Very well done.
