I love the frozen motion of the children on the flying swings. The extra contrast did a nice job on the sky. Very nice work Piotr.

Hi Piotr

The tilted perspective adds dynamism & vitality. I like the partial silhouettes & graphism of this image. Good work!

Hey Piotr,
This is excellent in it's mood. The composition and subject are quite interesting. The lighting is very very nice. The way the clouds are formed with the enhanced saturation really sets this photo off. It's so perfect that the swings are not interfering with each other as far as crossing one another. Great eye for catching the swings in this frozen moment.
I enjoy the treeline at the bottom. But I wonder how the photo would look without it. Just a thought. I might try it just for fun.
Anyway, this is a wonderful display of photography.
I am saving this as a favorite....It just keeps me looking and well contained within the environment of your composition.

WOW! That's a dramatic shot! full of motion and I like the fact that there's only 1 person on the carousel. The sky as such is the perfect background...another perfect background could be a sunset but this is one is equally perfect.

It's a marvellous catch! Very very nice indeed! TFS Piotr! I love it!

Was it staged btw?

I think this is a magical place for me, swinging alone with a weather like that is a very good time for contemplation....great catch!

Great mood Piotr created as a result of your excellent POV and contrast of the ride / rider against the sky.

Very nice timing for this picture. I really like the blue tones of the sky in the background (well done on the contrast). I agree with the others about the dynamism of this tilted composition. Well done and TFS.

This is a very good photo Piotr! You have a terrific composition here. the picture gives you a feeling of flight, with the girl high above the beautiful cloud formation. Very well done.

mate, i think this photo is great without the movement blur - its assumed that the swings are actually in motion, rather than standing still! also, there are too many crap tourist photos of blurry theme park rides in movement - i guess the photographers were somehow trying to capture their children moving at 60kph...

in contrast, your photo reflects the value of selecting the shutter speed for the situation, and framing the shot for simplicity. also, the colours are fantastic - good post processing.

one issue though... i think the photo needs a proper name. maybe something to so with kids on theme park rides when a storm is coming :-) cheers mate,

You may not like this photo so much Piotr, but I like its effects. Good angle of the swinging chairs swaying out from the top left corner into the clouds and lower right corner. Then the different angles of the cloud streaks going from the centre to the top right corner. All well captured. Colours and details are great too. So well done.

Oh I love this Photo. It's so beautifully moody.
I have shot photo's of a flying swing, but just to have some photo's of my kids having fun.
I never put tought in it and see if I could make something interesting.
That's what I admire in this photo. The compo is so great and the clouds give it a very special feeling. also just one kid sitting in it, its great realy, going into my favs.
TFS!

Hi Piotr!
Ton image est impréssionante! Les contrastes entre les couleurs ressortent très fortement pour accentuer cet aspect de dramatique! Les chaises donnent une touche de mouvement! C'est génial!
Félicitations!
