 Sierra on the swing, at the "top o' the arc."

Shot with the camera's lens at wide angle through a (cheap) 2x teleconverter, creating the marked vignette at the top; I left it on to remind me which lens combo I was using, because the edge softness gives an effect somewhat like a zoom-blur, and because I like how its curves follow those of the swing supports.

Great action shot. The slight blur enhances the experience.

Fantastic concept and so brilliantly executed. I love the title and feel it fits in perfectly with the challenge theme. "That's high enough" saying as it were "I don't want to go higher, that's high enough, no more, the end of high for me, so far and no more"
I also love the feeling of motion that you have captured and the angle from which you took the photograph. The colors are nice and bold and vivid and the expression on the young girls face showing joy and exhilaration.
