Went down to my local playground and took these

Hope you like them!

That first one is neat. Great DOF, and interesting swing as well. I dont think I've seen any quite like that.

I agree with WNK the first one is a good shot. Seems that it could have a story behind it. Could be a very emotional shot.

very interesting! Looks like some kind of makeshift toddler swing. I really like both of them, the tones, etc are really great. Something about the second one really stands out to me though

Yeah cool, like it. Kinda creepy. Right up my street

great shots...... good tones and dof.... and i like the angle of the second :thumbup:

Think they are both great.. HOwever, the second one has a strong feeling of loneliness and quietness to it.. It just really stands out for me a lot.. I love your POV on it..

Both are great photos. Pictures of empty swings are eerie to me. They seem to symbolize death, loneliness, and loss. Especially #2 here. I think the DOF control contributes to that very well

Very cool. Really really like the first one.

Thanks for your kinda comments all.

I agree with you midget patrol.. there is something eerie about empty swings.. thats what drew me to them

Really like that first shot there - very moody. I'd probably try to isolate the sky with a mask and brighten up that highlight to make the contrast even more spooky. The second one has great tones, but does nothing for me.
