| That is one ugly swing. Looks really old. I would have taken this from a different angle so the bars were not in the way. 5. |

I think this photo has some problems with the composition. E.g. chains of the swing merge with the framework in the background, especially the horizontical bar.
Also the photo feels unbalanced because only one half of the swing framework is seen. It's like the whole thing will topple down next second.

| Needs a little more contrast to make it really pop off the screen. - floyd |

| I like the mood in this picture. However it is taken from the height of an adult! Maybe by getting on your knees the line of sight would be closer to a child's. Who didn't have a swing like that when they were a kid? Nice pic! |

| Black and white was an excellent choice here, lets the viewer concentrate on the swing. |

| A fine job on the lighter range of grey, but the darker range is largely missing... Very nice concept/execution... |

| This looks like a really old swing. I would trust sitting on it. LOL. With so many swings, it's hard to judge one over another. I like this one because it's wooden. I don't know what kind of backgrounds there would be from a different angle, so maybe this was the best angle for the situation, but I think the poles in the back are kind of distracting. I would also like to see the color version of this for comparrison. nice job and good luck in the challenge. |

| This is a different looking swing than most of the others. I'm not fond of B&W, and though there is some fairly good contrast, this shot doesn't appeal to me in that scheme. (I think it's the grass) 7 Swash |

| The background behind the swing (the bars and poles) are somewhat distracting from the swing itself. I wonder if there may have been a more interesting angle from which this photo could be made? - jmsetzler |

| I looked at this one for a while. I found the lines distracting. I tried to look at them openly - wondered if the illusion of the lines was perhaps even the intent of your photo, but ultimately I found them more visually distracting than interesting. The bar that connects whe two poles of the swing really almost seems to connect instead to the chain of the swing. B/W probably intensifies this. Just one person's opinion. I am sure it is precisely the lines that will appeal to many. 6, just-married |

Because the poles of the frame seem to be at odd angles I find myself focussing on them instead of the swing. When I look at the swing I like the wonderful texture. But then my attention is dragged back to the poles - they are definitely distracting for me. Would love to see a closeup of the swing seat with just a little chain, grass as the background, and nothing else in it.

| Very nice use of black and white. I especially like the even gray of the grass. The bars immediately behind the swing bother me a little bit. I might try reframing the seat/chains to see if a composition is possible that does not include these background bars. |
