| Good capture. Colours stand out well and focus is spot on. I wonder if this is still ever used, although it seems well past its best! |

Ah yes I do and they are painfull memories at that. My much larger friend and I were on one in our park and the "cool kids" took off the handle grips.
My large friend thought it would be fun to get off and let me fall crashing to the ground. It proved to be great fun. As I came crashing to the ground everyone was laughing at the spectacle that was I, until I let out a hair raising screem because the handle bar had embeded itself into my knee and tore the muscle from the bone.
Oh what fun and the memories, well you can just guess how I feel the vision is flooding back.
I think I need some tissue and an ice pack.
Thank you for this it had been so long I almost had removed it from my memory. |

| This sure brings back memories. I'm reminded of of the smell of rusted metal, the monotonous squeak, and sounds children playing all around. I'll second what Karen suggests about the polarizer. |

| Great find. You can almost feel the rust. I think I had to get an extra tetanus shot after meeting a similar piece of playground equipment. It might have been broken glass. Childhood stories get a little smudged sometimes. |

| Very good composition, light is a bit bright but what can you do, Saturday was a very sunny day! Have you thought of using a polarizer filter? |

| My favorite of all your shots. I agree w/joynim, this is a neat, simple little scene that can be played with. |

| Love the blue paint and the rust. I don't think it hurt any of us who had to play on these things. Now, some of the playground equipment was truly dangerous - like the merry-go-round (no, I'm thinking about the kind made out of just pipes with wood seats screwed to the bare frame around the outside - usually had a ditch about 8 inches deep all the way around it - if you wanted to ride "in the center" you stood on the pipes and watched the ground blur by under your feet). But, boy were they fun! |

It could be an accident waiting to happen, and the the local council would be sued for damages - I really had though those things had gone out of favour.
But it's a good angle you have captured. |

| You could use a softer saddle for sure. I think kids'll play on just about anything, to tell the truth. The picture and the point you make with it are good though - just I think maybe it's the grown-ups that have gone all soft about what their kids should sit on. |

| You could really have some fun editing with this one lots of grunge, texture and acid washes! |
