Lovely old tree. The swing looks comparatively new, though. Light wasnt especially good in this spot. Perhaps some fill-in light would have helped. I like your framing, though. 7 - floyd

I like this one very much out of the many "swing-pictures"... Great contrast with the red of the swing and the green grass.... D.:o)

i wonder if cropping the buildings out at the top would give you a more abandoned
feeling. ..but then you would lose the beautiful branch formation of the tree.

I think it would have been better if the tree wasnt directly in the center. 5.

Swing needs to be more focued in this picture.
It would be better If the house were't appeared.
Try different angle

That is an interesting tree. I've never seen one grow that way before. I found that I rated the tree swings a bit higher than the playground swings. I'm not really sure why,maybe because they were more personal to the kids, or maybe because they were more unique. The lighting and angle are great for this photo. I like how the house is way in the background and there is a little path leading to the swing. Great shot and good luck in the challenge.

Swings seem to be THE childhood memory of choice. It's an interesting looking tree. The shade makes the pic seem dark, esp. with the background being much better lighting. 7 Swash

There were several swing pictures. I'd like to tell you what grabbed me about this one as "unique." You captured not only a passtime but the whole "family"& "backyard carefree living" aura.

Nice picture, very cool tree.

Unusual swing photo - in that it's not in a park and I assume it's one that was put up for a kid by mum and dad.
The fence uprights are well positioned. The upper tree is very dark. Can't decide whether I like the house being in it or not.

This is a good 'childhood' photo :) Compositionally, I think there may be room for some improvement... This shot, in my opinion, reminds me of a LOT of child photos that I see around... The photograph is made from a higher angle looking down. I believe that when photographing children, or adolescent themed photos, getting down on the level of the child and shooting level works very well. This shot may also have some more impact of the tree was off center to the right and the swing was more on the left... possibly by moving about 3 or 4 steps to your right to make this photo :) - jmsetzler
