 No post-edit done on this photograph. Program Auto camera settings. I was captured by the beauty of the azalea and the stillness of the two tire swings. What a different spot this will be when the children are playing there.

Beautiful image. I like the color. I wuld like to see the swings a little lower in the image, though.

Very nice shot and I can see where you are coming from with the silence, but it just doesn't Say silence to me... 5

The scene is great for this challenge, especially that silence is conveyed by the unused swings, but it unfortunately has a lot of snapshot quality to it. If you could have repositioned yourself to hide the buildings and fense in the background this would work better. The light object on the far right is also distracting to your composition.

Great lighting and framing. I suspect that a photographer of your talent could have extracted a slightly more in-focus and brighter shot from this scene.

This is a nice idea, I think it could use a little more drama and contrast. What about standing on the tire looking down thru the hole and chains(rope)-possibly black & white. Conveys quite/stillness nicely.

Colors of the flower shines well throug and you are getting the texture of the trees. Think maybe litle more colorsaturation and maybe more contrast could make this image better.

Very nice composition et landscape. Would score high if sharpness was there.

I like the soft feel of this shot - moving the swing to the right or left would improve the composition, imho
