Charlene - this is very cool. What a good idea. It gives a sense of sudden abandonment. Maybe they were snatched up by aliens? Or worse? The BW and intense contrast add to the feel of this image. I think it's brilliant.

I love this image, the softness and the noise really give the feeling of both the blurred vision of a child and of a time long past.

The composition is fantastic and I cannot think of a better image. Straight to favourites

The sky is not quite striking enough to be so prominent

Nice colours. Wondering what this would look like shot straight up from under the tower part.

Comment by krnodil:
This isn't just "another" swing - doesn't anyone remember swinging so hard and fast, getting up speed, and then LAUNCHing off? We used to play games to see how far we could launch. This is the best way to show that supremely childhood activity without including the child. I can easily imagine the child, out of shot on the right, in a crouch after having just landed, as the seat has moved into the backswing. Easily the best conceptual shot, and the best swing shot (because of the story it tells) of this challenge.

very unique building. Needs more saturation IMHO, and maybe some contrast in the sky
