    Playground Fun

    A friend’s son was having a blast spinning on the playground. I took this photo and I thought it captured his enthusiasm and some action. Comments?

    Yes you've got the action, you're panning again !
    But maybe it's cropped too tight?
    I can't see what's happening, and all I see of the playground is a blur top right.
    Without the context that might not be excitement he's showing ...

    Nice. Yeah, maybe cropped too tight. Maybe in color would be better?

    Now thats what I call a Grandma! Agree with the crop being too tight. Its difficult to tell from the crop if its delight or shear terror, but the eyes give it away.
