I can't tell what's going on here... or is the boingboingboing because of the foreground girl's curls in her hair?

I think I would like to see it in color, not sure, to me, the girl focused on is so separated from the back ground, I am finding myself looking for something else. . The boing boing having to do with the see-saw?

She's on some playground equipment that has a spring on it and it goes forward and back, forward and back.

Getting the spring in at the centre may have improved it. Also the girl in the background is a distracting aswell as the other bits of the playground.

While there are no hard and fast rules regarding capturing the motion of a playground equipment (a child on a swing can be taken from the side -- most common and effective -- or from the front or the back), you may have had more success conveying the motion from a side view with the spring in the shot.

Another possibility - get low to the ground, really low... near where the snout of the equipment comes close to the ground with a wideangle or an ultra-wideangle and aim up. Then capture the boingboing as it approaches you or vice versa.

I think it would have been a much better shot of the far girl had been in focus and the front one OOF. I like the pose of the girls looking over her shoulder. Then most likely the rest of the play ground would have been in focus and less distracting than the vague shapes we see now.
