Hmmm. This makes my second open challenge entry in a row that's been pretty much straight out of the camera.
I considered lightening this up a little but in the end I liked the way the light is highlighting the tire swing and didn't want to lose that emphasis. The backlighting of the ropes would also lose some impact if the image was brought up some.
The acorn nut was an accident. I didn't notice it until later (shame on me I suppose) when I looked at the images on screen. Kind of like it. :-)

Nice detail. The light is limited making the picture a bit dark, but it adds to the mood. Background however is not very attractive. I would try to blur it more.
