"The Innocence of Childhood"

PHOTO STAFF CRITIQUE
"This photo reminds us of a scene in the children's classic "Charlotte's Web," a timeless image celebrating the carefree days of childhood. We look at the picture and want to run across the field and climb onto the tire swing. We don't think the photo would have made the same impact without the bright white fence along the back, drawing the eye to the swing. The tree without leaves also worked in the photographer's favor, as did the varying shades of green grass. All of the elements came together for a very nice photo."
