Hmmm. This makes my second open challenge entry in a row that's been pretty much straight out of the camera.

I considered lightening this up a little but in the end I liked the way the light is highlighting the tire swing and didn't want to lose that emphasis. The backlighting of the ropes would also lose some impact if the image was brought up some.

The acorn nut was an accident. I didn't notice it until later (shame on me I suppose) when I looked at the images on screen. Kind of like it. :-)

This shot seems a bit dark to me but it looks like the scene had a lot of contrast making good exposure tough.

The tire almost blends into the ground

Nice lighting - I love how the tyre and ropes just seem to glow.

Nice detail. The light is limited making the picture a bit dark, but it adds to the mood. Background however is not very attractive. I would try to blur it more.

It's a little to dark for my taste, but I like the composition.
