The way this is exposed and blurred lets her fly completely free, with no strings (or swings) attached.

I underrated this one. I underrated many pics in this challenge, because there was so much to love. In any other challenge this would have gotten high marks from me. I love how she disappears into geometric shapes.

This is like a distant memory. You're trying to remember, but just can't quite get it to snap into place.

Such an excellent image, Charlene. The angle, the use of Lensbaby, the BW tones - all wonderful.

I love the fact that even though you cant see the childs face when you look at the picture you just know she is laughing and smiling

I also like the fact that this has the feel of a natural blur rather than a trick of the camera
Great sense of motion and a gorgeous soft B&W conversion which really enhances the shot

Wow, very wonderful feeling in this one. Probably one of the most emotive in the challenge!

This emotes all the glee and jubilation of childhood...it appears as most couldn't let the rules go long enough to absorb the pure joy!

I was kind of wondering if this one was yours. :) I love the blur and distortion of the trees. It reminds me of the joy and fun of either jumping off a swing or jumping on a trampoline. I love that freedom of floating in the air. Very nice that you managed to convey emotion in this challenge.

I loved this one in voting, so glad it was yours. Perfect title. I love the feeling of childhood memories, like in a dream.

I think some more motion blur would add to this. It's a bit blurry, but not quite blurry enough to convey the swinging motion.

Love the carefree feeling of the shot and the motion, but the blown out highlights on the face and chest are disturbing. It's like the innocence of the child is lost. Perhaps facing them the other way on the swing with more backlighting would have helped to reduce this?

the tight crop around the subject and the DOF makes this difficult to look at

love the sunny look of this. . .and the darkness of the trees adds a neato creepy vibe.

Nice one. The blurriness adds to the feeling of memory. A childhood past.
