Sorry guys, I could not find the beauty of a "branch". I have taken million shots, I just could not make a "branch-as-main-subject" photo. I first thought was to make a photo contain a couple of eagles on a branch of a died tree. I waited a week, no luck. Also I thought I would give a huge construction lifters a try, but we have got no interesting cloud here for...hmmm... at least a week. At the end, I was sitting there wishing something really interesting and catchy. Yesterday, I went to a friend's party. I saw their kids playing in the backyard on the branch swing (don't know what that thing is called.) I thought I would include the branch in, but I could not. I only had sigma 105 Macro with me (it is the fastest lens I have for indoor). Maybe I sould get a 50/1.8.
Anyway, here it is, a shot that does not contain a "branch" of any sort. I think some people will rant at me. I just hope a few people has a little more imagination...
Ahhhh, I am sooooo gonna be bombed. :(

Original. I like that you did something different. Bravo. The focus is sharp and the colors pop. Maybe a tighter shot/crop leaving some of the excess area at the top out would have enhanced the image....regardless a nice job.
Nice shot. I love how we can soo movement through the wind in the hair. I find the dark blob in the bottom corner distracting, though. I also wish we could see the branch.
That's a lovely picture of th elittle girl. I especially like how you've captured her hair. But I don't think I can really consider what she's swinging on a branch. It looks like a plain old playground toy.
