 Tried to get a effect of movement with my daughter on her swing. Got the effect in the end, but were unable to get her in focus.

Bit disappointing, as I tried very hard.

i think your efforts paid off handsomely!! .. i like the sense of motion you've achieved and the far away look on her face ... :)

You have a bit of her in focus. I think the effect was put into good use. The small turn of the head creates a wonderful simplicity.

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. I still have a lot to learn, and it seems like this is defintely th right place.

This actually is pretty cool! You've definitely go the motion and even though she's not in perfect focus, I think this works very well. A little blur is a good thing - not every shot has to have something in pure sharp focus. Explore your blur side! :-)
