    What a wonderful take!

    Love the exact moment captured and shooting angle with the contrast between older and younger and them being at opposite ends of the pendulum in body positions. And she has such a delightful and innocent expression of the joy of swinging...

    A top notch captureclap.gif

    Thank you! I'm so glad you like it.

    And yes, she adores swinging.

    Great moment caught. Looks like both enjoy a good swing.

    Hi Virginia,
    She's jumping off no?
    I hope she is because I love that small action. It's such a childlike thing to do, to jump off a perfectly good swing :)

    Sweet family moment for sure. I like the small smile on his face too.

    Thanks for the comments, Patti, Benjamin and Liz.

    Liz, I think you are right about her jumping off.

    Her father recently built the play set for her and she spends hours swinging, sliding, hanging by her knees, climbing. Fortunately, the construction is strong enough to support adults. She loves nothing more than to get her grandparents involved, though we have not been asked to hang by our knees yet!

    As a person who has spent hours trying to catch a perfect swing shot, my hat is off to you!

    Thanks, Jesse.

    Interestingly (for me, at least), the shot is far from perfect in many ways, yet it works. It give me pleasure to think that that the little one will treasure it when she grows up.
