A few of the edges (trousers and shoes), and the tops of the chains could use a little work here, but a great idea.

Fun shot. I like the interplay of the chains. I would like to see this more from the side than at the angle that it is.

I like this idea for a time lapse photo, and I think you executed it well. The only thing I dont like is the first two captures, and the overlap between them. I would have preferred a little more separation between the two.

Just a shame the spacing isn't perfectly equal, its just the one far left that isn't conforming and perhaps the image would have been better without it.

Tricky little number with the chains :-) Good freezing of motion and a nice overall composition. Good model, give him a peanut.

The leftmost kid almost looks out of place as if he were a second kid. The other images are nicely placed.

nice, I bet he really likes it :) A few links at the top of the chain seem to be off.
