Black and white was an excellent choice here, lets the viewer concentrate on the swing.

A fine job on the lighter range of grey, but the darker range is largely missing... Very nice concept/execution...

Comment by HBunch:
This looks like a really old swing. I would trust sitting on it. LOL. With so many swings, it's hard to judge one over another. I like this one because it's wooden. I don't know what kind of backgrounds there would be from a different angle, so maybe this was the best angle for the situation, but I think the poles in the back are kind of distracting. I would also like to see the color version of this for comparrison. nice job and good luck in the challenge.

This is a different looking swing than most of the others. I'm not fond of B&W, and though there is some fairly good contrast, this shot doesn't appeal to me in that scheme. (I think it's the grass) 7 Swash

The background behind the swing (the bars and poles) are somewhat distracting from the swing itself. I wonder if there may have been a more interesting angle from which this photo could be made? - jmsetzler

I looked at this one for a while. I found the lines distracting. I tried to look at them openly - wondered if the illusion of the lines was perhaps even the intent of your photo, but ultimately I found them more visually distracting than interesting. The bar that connects whe two poles of the swing really almost seems to connect instead to the chain of the swing. B/W probably intensifies this. Just one person's opinion. I am sure it is precisely the lines that will appeal to many. 6, just-married

Comment by Kavey:
Because the poles of the frame seem to be at odd angles I find myself focussing on them instead of the swing. When I look at the swing I like the wonderful texture. But then my attention is dragged back to the poles - they are definitely distracting for me. Would love to see a closeup of the swing seat with just a little chain, grass as the background, and nothing else in it.
