not a bad idea at all -- but I think 2 things detract -- first, it appears the trees in the background are more in focus than your subject -- second, I think a more interesting angle (and one that closer hits the spirit of the challenge) would have been to get closer to the ground (maybe even to lie directly underneath the path of the swing) and catch the little girl at the other end of the arc when she's more directly facing the ground
Beautiful ! You caught her facial expression perfectly. The background is a little distracting, though. Maybe creative cropping? Overall, a great shot. If she were my kid, I'd hang this picture on the wall.
I worked with the swing idea but just couldn't find a super looking kid to sit in it. You sure did!! Her shirt and pants are a bit blown out though, too bad.
This is another photo that, I am guessing, you'll probably lose points on to the crowd at large because of a lack of a neck-straining sense of UP in the picture, though the subject does a great job of giving you that feeling :) There is amazing focus in this picture... I mean, even the background trees have a fairly rich texture to them, and the picture is amazingly colorful and fairly well framed. It looks like, from the quality, that you probably know how to improve this one better than I :) Good effort :)
I like this! I think it would be a little better if you had taken it from laying on the ground and got all of her. So she seemed higher. It's good all the same:))))
