Post Challenge: Well, after all the "leave the head in" comments, I just have to say that IMHO, it looks much better without the head. There's more mystery, more interpretation on the viewers' parts, etc. But thank you for all the great comments! :)

I think this is really cool shot. Excellent tones and detail. The missing head adds the motion feel as if he popped out of the frame the moment you pressed the shutter button.
What would really be cool is if his head was sticking up out of the frame! :)
Congrats on 12th! A great image and good for you for sticking to your preference for the headless! Always remember that your opinion matters more than all the voters. ...well, not for challenge placement but in the grander scheme of things. :)
WOW!! Congratulations!! You get a new award for this one!! Perhaps some sort of gold medal for hitting the TOP 20!! That is a fabulous picture and you SO deserved this!
What a fun and happy picture. Love the concept with the swing - how many shots did you have to take? lol. The background is just perfect too. Good luck!
Everything about this photo is fantastic. The key for me, which it appears that you obviously intended, is the fact that he totally looks like he is swinging, but the chains aren't connected to anything! Wow, that's an ugly sentence. Well, you know what I mean.
