Nice use of complimentary colors. The focus seems a little sharper on the leaf then the bloom, maybe it's just the light and texture that makes it seem so.

I love the colors. I think I would have removed the brown, dead leaves first, but that is just my personal artistic interpretation. No points off for that. I give it an 8.

The leaves on the bottom are a little bit busy without adding much to the photo. If you cropped them out it would make the flowers stand out more I think.

Clever title, and the viola does actually have some angles that add drama.

Great shot where each element of foreground and background adds something.
Nice lines and colours.

Comment by HBunch:
At first I didn't notice, but I just noticed that all the swings aren't the same. There are the 2 regular swings and the 2 "baby" swings. There are 2 things that make me think this was taken at a public park, rather than at a school playground. And maybe I could be wrong, so just ignore me if I am (and it doesn't affect score BTW, this is only an observation) Schools usually have a fence at the "edge" of the playground, and they usually don't have those baby swings. I do NOT let title affect my ratings, but I think if you were going to sell the photo or something, people MIGHT feel decieved. Personaly I don't care if the photo was taken at a playground, park or prison. It gets the point across, and very nicely. I like the angle and the lighting. You did a great job of getting the chain parallel with the edge of the photo. Very nice shot. Good luck in the challenge.

nice...I like this although I think the background is just a little too out of focus...I mean I know it's supposed to be less focused but the bottom right hand corner sort of bugs me. Overall great set-up though..nice lines and contrast in this. 7 KDJ

The second swing in focus would have been much better
