Moody and atmospheric and love the light and shadows. Backrgound area too dark for my tastes.

I like the shadow and overall composition. BW give it an intersting feel

Comment by floyd:
Love the light in this shot. The swing is brightly lit but the woodland behind is dark and shaded. Great framing and bags of atmosphere. Great shot - well done. 9 - floyd

This is better than any of the other swing photos I think. Even better than my own.

I like the black and white but the composition is a little off. The tree is smack dab in the middle of the pic. The area left of the swing isn't important. I'd either crop that out or just pan the camera to the right more and get the tree off center. This is the first pic I have ever rated and I hope I'm being to harsh. I really dig the blac and white.

This is a deeply moving photo. It brings to mind childhoods of the past, specificially from old black and white movies (I am thinking To Kill A Mockingbird) as I see this. Wonderful job. 9 BAMartin

Comment by Swashbuckler:
At first, I wanted to suggest a little brighter, but I think that would have washed out some of the ground and tree bark, so don't do that. Shadows to sun to shadows is hard, it seems to confuse the camera. I would suggest circling round to the left. The swing bar is shaded, so doesn't show up well against the shade background, if you went to the left, you could have caught it in the sun, but I don't know, maybe the background sucked in that direction. 8 Swash

This is a superb shot. The use of B&W makes the picture. The atmosphere is great and it has hit the challenge with aplomb. I cannot find fault with the picture ΓΆ€“ some may say it's a little dark, some may say it's a little out of focus, but I think you've got it right. (10)

I like very much that you did this in black and white. It fits your title. Very nice. Sharp and well layed out. Lnede
