Hi John,

I think this would have been better if you had shot it from further to the right. The sharp focus on the swing and narrow DOF are nice, but too much of the frame is occupied by the big, blurry tree on the left.

Yes right again, Now all I see is the tree. Learn from the experts here
Thank you for the note.

hey john-

welcome to dgrin-

a couple things-

I'm guessing you meant to focus on the swing, and it looks like you did-

exposure looks right-

in the foreground: I'm not sure about that gray broken line; that needs to be cropped out-

when you have a photo with obvious horizontal or vertical lines, the most prominent one should be as close to the horizon or 90 to it as possible-


the post for the swing should be straight up and down-

you should be able to tilt your photo to get that post to perpendicular, usually as you crop your pic-

the subject doesn't excite me much, but 1) that's my opinion and 2) it seems like you're working more on just learning to use your camera-

I hope I helped some; just keep shootin' man-

ps just read what richard wrote-

Or rotate the camera 90 degrees into portrait mode, which might allow the swing's chains to complete their convergence.

Now get somebody into that swing :-)
