Too much motion, it's a good effect, but too much of anything.....This really is more joy than fear. 4 Swash

This is a great photo compositionally, but I am struggling to see fear. The kid looks happy to me with the facial expression... = 5 - jmsetzler

REVISION: I am granting great latitude this week on the challenge topic. There are too many photos tha I don't understand. = 7 - jmsetzler

Comment by CEO:
Well, thanks for the comments. I'm happy that some voters could see what I wanted to express on my picture.

For those who could see my intention clearly, here is a brief explanation.
CITY: well the playground is a characteristic of small to large cities. You rarely find it in rural areas.
LIFE: this is more difficult to capture. In the picture, I tried to capture life via the footsteps in the large foreground. It is 'life' that has passed, and this fact is signified by the people facing away and walking away from the picture.
