Ah yes... the dreaded objects stuck in the tree. Interesting take on the challenge. The rope is more a distraction for me. I think you could have left that out.

I like the memory you were trying to capture, but the subjects (swing and shoes) do not stand out enough the rest of the picture. I do love the colors and the crispness of the overall shot though.

Without the title it's mostly just a tree. The rope & shoes need more accent, bigger part of the pic, or some other means to bring them out. Nice idea, just needs more concentration on the true subject.

great idea, but it's so hard to see the rope swing and shoes in this photo.

A little too dark for me, just my opinion though.

Ah - I bet this image suffered from getting squashed into a 640 pix format. I can imagine it huge on the wall of a bank. The dark and light play here is wonderful, especially where the small bright dots of leaves meet the more linear stripes of shadow on the ground. The darker sweeping lines of the branches look lovely in the impressionistic scatter of light. There is one spot in the distance where my eyes tell me to enter and feel the shade, a space on the right where the heat of the day contrasts.

Although there is a lot going on here, I do like the way you processed this image and the depth of the detail in the trees. Will definately get a wide range of votes. Good Luck. 6.
