Well first off, the contrast and focus is a little weird. The colors seem dulled and oversaturated at the same time. And that is exactly why---I LOVE IT!! Your choice for the theme was just brilliant. What kind of rope is that? It looks flat. I used to swing on a tire rope all the time as a kid. This brings back such fond memories of my childhood in the country. That is probably why I am so fond of it. Oh yea sure you could re-take it with more focus and the noise but I think I would leave it the way it is. It kind of reminds me of a memory. Memories are not in focus nor do they look perfect. It's great!! Keep being creative and good luck in future challenges!!

Good composition, and I really like the subject matter of the photo. I would have liked to have seen this in B&W.

Nice photo -- well composed -- highlights on the rope are a bit harsh and maybe I would have hidden the loose stuff somehow to bring out the tire more

Aww I like the title. Nice job I like how the rope or string is white. It brings it out. Nice job!

Seems very dark, (maybe adjust your WB for cloudy conditions), and this causes the white rope to stand out and rob all the attention. A more muted colour than white would help.

A slightly shallower DOF would helped this shot. The background distractsaway from the main elements of the photo. Nice comp and idea.

Sweet depiction. Love the idea. Shot looks a bit dark. Would benifit from a little lightening.

This would be great in black and white with high contrast. I like the idea of this alot. Nothing like a tree swing in summer. As it is, it all kind of blends together. Maybe play with curves to work on the colors a bit. Maybe up the brightness and contrast and see what you get. This is definitely a good idea and not the typical entry - good imaginative idea.
