 Idea: spin my son on the tire swing and get a picture.

I used an umbrella flash (rear-curtain sync to make it look right) at nearly full power to overpower the sun a bit and freeze the action. Going through the images, this one jumped out -- simple with a real feeling of speed.

Unsure of the logo on his shirt, but it fits.

I like the concept and the red chain to add zip to this. Only thing I don't like is the t-shirt because it unnecessarily draws attention.

Just a tad more motion would be perfect to show that you were really trying to capture that.
