 Trying to get a candid moment of my family without the traditional laughing and smile. Actually this is easier since I have my camera with me so much they pretty much ignore it. I have to ask them for the smile or pose. This shot I simply waited for the right composition and timing of the swings and captured. I love the resulting composition.

Weeee. I like the composition. I don't like the sepia, I don't think, maybe just a straight bw, or just a touch of sepia.

The straight-up woman crossed by the diagonal swingchain, which is then crossed by the other swinger. A perfect composition plucked out of a chaos of time. miraculous. 10

Nice image, good use of shallow DOF, it just possibly needs a faster shutter speed.

Bueatiful shot. Seems like the shutter speed might be a littl slow.

Nice composition here and the duotone works very well to give a sense of the old time enjoyment that a swing can bring even in todays world

Cropped kinda tight at the bottom but otherwise quite nice. Too bad for the kid in the background on the right...

Nice capture, but I think I would like it better if she was back a little on the swing
