I think this meets the challenge as described, it certainly looks peaceful. I don't get an inner sense of zen from it but I think its a decent shot. The natural light is a bit flat so the color doesn't pop, but there is a bit of depth to the image which is nice. The focus is okay, composition seems to work. I find myself strining to see more details of the swing? in the background though. A decent image but it doesn't draw me in or keep my attention. I gave a 4

A quiet, peaceful place, but a bit bland as a picture. I wonder if a closer shot of the bench/swing and the dark shadows to the right of it might have worked a bit better.

Nice idea, I think it would help the overall composition if you were a little closer to the seat (?) and slightly straightened the image :o)
