Lonely Swings
I made this capture at a local park. I really like how the one swing is moving while the others are still.
I added the grain to the photo by taking an actual scan of film (remember that stuff?) grain and overlaying it on the digital photograph in Photoshop. It adds to the mood I was seeking in this digital capture.

Come on now, photographers are notorious for setting up great photos. You gave that swing a little push didn’t you? It’s okay, this is a great photo that tells so many stories. I like it. It would make a great cover for a chick-lit book. “Lonely Swings” might even be a good title. It might need a sub-title to sell what’s in its pages, however.
I love the grainyness.

The grain really adds to the photo, most definitely. Lovely angle, as well.

This shot is very similar to one of my own. But it’s purely conincidental! I just discovered your blog today! I like this shot a lot.

Funny ! Like the fact that they are not on the same line.
