I took a shot of something like this with my OM2 50mm 1.8, and wanted to get a digital version of it, but 50mm turns to like 80mm on digital, so I had to settle for the 18-55. It turned out all right.

The last couple were just kinda trying to get a shot in for the hell of it, but I'm actually relatively happy with this one. Low 5's?

Very moody, more "lost childhood". Works for me.

I think the swing should at least have some light.

I really like the idea of this photograph, beautiful job. The swing is a little dark for me but the overall feel of the picture is captivating. Nice job.

This shot and the title suggests to me that the child has grown up and left. I like the mood and the yellow-orange cast.

Really cool! :)

It is dramatic and perhaps a little unnerving. It is also intesting owing to the necessity of the viewer to figure it out, i.e. it is not a typical image of a swingset. It's also minimalsitic which I like.

Love the unique perspective. Captures the moment but is clearly not the usual photo of a swing. Well done.
