Description
This was a little girl in the orphanage I worked in, in Kigarama Rwanda. This is such an amazing place. This little girl was swinging on an all wood swing set while being pushed by another little boy so I snuck up behind them and took a series of them
This is slightly cropped and I played with it for a good while in black & white and am pretty pleased with it

What a lovely picture, very nice composition , the black and white works very well. I think the swing is at the right place, getting loose but still just a tiny bit connected withe background.

The feeling of this piece is that of the future and freedom. It conveys the feeling of being on a swing flying to one's dreams. The black and white make it feel timeless. Nice shot!

You are welcome.
Well thanks I do really try to say something about the piece as I see it. Comes from my theater background I guess.
