Myself on one of the twisting poles on the play structure at the park next to my school. I tripped the shutter and ran over to the pole and started spinning -- I took about 8 shots and chose this one.
My dad helped me set up the camera and enter the settings.

I think a bit tighter crop would have helped focus attention on the twister -- the upper part is bright enough that it acts as somewhat of a distraction from the subject.
As with other entries of this genre, I love the concept - very fitting for the challenge. Your entry could use a better point of view to focus more on the subject matter. As is, the background does not add to the photo - My eye wanders around the photo. 5
