Great idea and I like the angle. Would like to have seen better focus in the dirt and first step.

Another of the good playground shots, nice feeling of being small. DOF missing the extreme foreground is perhaps a little off-putting.

Yes, always the big slid climbs are very scary and intimidating, and it has a sort of vancant feeling

Would have been more appealing in color. The angle is interesting and the shadows add a lot to the picture.

Wonderful capture. Meets the challenge in an original way, with an imaginative perspective.

This photograph is extremely balance and the perspective of the steps is truly intimidating.

Very interesting POV. Very good job of conveying a child's perception of climbing the slide for the first time. "Intimidating" comes to mind in your photograph even without a title. Great Job!

The perspective is awesome and the black and white just "MAKES" it! I feel like a kid looking up at it. Nicely done!!

I'll trust you that this is really from the point of view of a child although it seems a little low to me. I notice that the slide is crocked wheras the horizon is straight - I guess it could not have been helped. The grandiented sky is great as is the choice of tone.

I love the black and white and the angle. I didn't read you title before I looked at the image. What went through my head is, "I can remember being small and looking up some daunting climb or challenge to get to some new phsyical accomplishment... climbing the slide, crossing the monkey bars, crossing the creek, etc." I love the graduated background going from light at the bottom to a black sky... emphasizing the scary top. Very clean, very sharp, great tones... well done!
