A 'found' pic. Out on my bike, camera close at hand, and saw what I think is damn funny sight...obvously these people are putting in an above-ground pool, slide and all in place...but...ummm...no pool! Yet!

I know it's an uncreative shot, but I couldn't really go waltzing into a stranger's backyard with a camera, at twilight now, could I?

This IS odd. I'd think the pool would come first, then the slide. Hope there are no kids around now to try it out. The image quality seems a little lifeless. I noticed that you used Highlights/Shadows. I find that often seems to flatten the image. When that happens, I like to follow up with an Exposure adjustment, reducing the Offset just a little, and increasing the Gamma just a little. That brings the photo back to life. Anyway this is a fun capture -- makes you wonder.

I find the picture a little weak and even the relevance with the theme is not very clear

sure, a story could be put here, but the image is boring, the lighting is awfully flat, and there is way too much going on to focus my eye.
