 Tried to get some dramatics from the sky with my son swinging in front of the sun. I like the slight detail in the face to show some expression. The purists may ding me for it.

Was the child swinging, or did you tilt the image? Nice work!

Unique composition, I really like it. Just wish the sun wasn't so bright, I guess there's not really much that can be done about that.
