Yeah - this shot is tanking. I figured it probably would. Blurry and sensor dust. I was shooting to late in the day so I needed to bump aperture to something like 14 to pull off the shutter speed. And as you can see - my sensor aint clean.
But for some reason I really enjoy these types of images. The advanced edit of this I find extremely pleasing - and odds are will become a print for my wall.
And yes - my girl loves to swing.

This looks like a Too child, but is not overwhelmed by personality like certain photos ahem... so you get a score from me. It's a shot that's been done before but this is a really good example of it and done with minimal editing, no less. You're really getting the hang of this camera-ma-bob. 8
the angled motion blur, the dreamlike quality, the polka dot pants, the blurred child and swing - i think it all works nicely - too bad someone does not know how to clean their sensor ;-)
