You point it out yourself implicitly...You are just too far from the woman and turned the wrong way for the image to have a really strong impact. > http://slideone.com/PAWimages/week03alt.02.html > Self Crit: I like the loneliness of the shot & the crossing of the swings. > The big detraction is the two footprints in the snow. Using a slower shutter > speed and having the swings blurred would help a lot too... This is for me the better image of the two. I like the sense of emptiness conveyed, and the swings make for a nice, graphic composition. I would suggest that you should have turned the camera slightly to the left so the you get more of the swing on the left in the frame. Also, a wider aperture that threw the background out of focus would have been beneficial.
