I like the way you captured this image. The layout is great and I love the use of DOF and the sepia-type colour. Good luck!

I like the composition in this one, but I don't care for the reddish tone. I thought about doing a shot like this, and you've captured what I thought would work well, but the tone overpowers it I think.

Great sepia tone. That and the weathering of the wood give an impression of a deserted playground, abandoned and silent.

Nice image. Kind of sad indeed. I like the redscale and the depth. The age of the wood enhances the number of years these have seen action and what is not there now.

I had the exact same idea for this challenge, but wound up doing something else instead. So obviously I like your concept very much! :) I'm not sure about the edge of the swing being right at the edge of the frame, but for the most part I really like the composition. Good focus and use of depth of field. The tones seem somewhat pixelated and chunky - of course, with the basic editing rules you're unable to fix things like that, though, so no marks down for that. Overall I like it quite a bit. Definitely has the feeling of "silence".

Comment by amsmyth:
certainly meets the challenge but there is too much in the surround that is distracting

I love the color and idea. I wish there was a little more of the image at the bottom...
