I've been walking past this playground on my way home from work for over 2.5 years and never knew that it was there. I saw the gorgeous sunset while I was walking home a few nights ago and decided to go back with my camera and investigate what was down the path. I saw the playground and thought of this challenge.

Editing is minimal, curves for a bit more contrast, resize, USM and save for web.

this is very dark. Try bumping the ISO up on the evening photos like this.

Good idea. I kind of want more light on the playground, but it probably illustrates your point better this way.

I can hardly see any details.

I wish this wasn't so dark. Still a good picture.

a picture, but a little to dark.

It's a little too dark for my liking

Half of everything being lit and dark... just doesn't work for me. Perhaps if the whole swingset were in the light... taken from lower and closer up?

Ah, peace at the playground. I like it.
