This photograph displays certain qualities of an interesting and unusual portrait. It captures the moment as the subject reaches out towards the sky in mid-swing. As a very simple picture the perspective of the photograph was achieved and altered by getting almost under the swing. The photograph gives off a inspiring feeling as the girl reaches as high as possible. Not only is the feeling inspirational, but also a feeling of calmness.

This is an awsome shot. The use of black and white emphasizes some of the interesting points of the picture. The angle was great, I liked the woman's pose, and also the composition was incredible. This is definently the best pictrure that I have seem on this site yet. Great job.

Your picture really caught my attention because of the harsh black and white contrast of the swings/person and the sky. I like the many different lines that are used in this photo. I am really inspired from the unusual perspective you have used in this photo; it really captures the momentum of the swing and girl reaching for the sky. I also like the light used throughout the photo.

Great Photo!

The perspective of this photograph is great!!  I really like the contrast of the gray sky and the black of the person and swing.  I think the simple ness of this photograph is what makes it so great.  I agree with you on the emotion that it shows, it shows inspiration also because the swinger is reaching towards the sky

I love this photograph. The lines are so bold. The background/sky perfectly add to the feeling of the photo but are very basic.

I think that this is a strong photo because of the extremely good range of value. Another reason why I like this photo is the overall pose of the person creates feelings of adventure, danger, and wonder.

this photo is really cool.

Dear Lauren:

I liked your image, "Creative portraits," becauseit shows happiness to someone. Maybe it also shows some that is expressing his/her feelings by going to the park.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "It captures the moment as the subject reaches out towards the sky in mid-swing." I think this is good because the person is happy and maybe the person got a high grades from school. I think that this is an inspirational portaraits because the person is might inpired by someone.

Another sentence that I liked was: "The photograph gives off a inspiring feeling as the girl reaches as high as possible." This stood out for me because the girl might wants toreach high in her study and her goal. I also thinks that the girla has a lot of goal for her life.

Your image reminds me of something that happened to me. One time when I was young I wanted to be in the army and until now I still wants to be in the army. Its is because its an honor to serev your own country.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because it is inpirational and i like it. I liek it becauseit shows feelings just by looking at one small picture.

It is really a nice shot that I like it so much because it was taken at a right time and place. It inspired me as you said, "The photograph gives off a inspiring feeling as the girl reaches as high as possible." It gave me a feeling of hope and expectation. Also, a kind of happiness.

Your picture caught my attention because of the contrast in the piece, between the girl on the swing and the background ( the cloud filled sky). This picture brings out a very natural sense of calmness; the girl is having fun and seems carefree, looking towards the sky and reaching out. It seems like she is making a sort of peace sign in the way she is reaching towards the sky. It shows that even the most simple things can make people happy.

This looks awesome. It looks like they are going to touch the sky but the chains are holding them back. This picture's sky looks like it was painted in to match the rest of the picture and it is not blurry which makes it look even better.

I think that this is a nice shot because of the chains from the swing creating diagonals.

I really like this photograph because its in black and white; giving the picture a gloomy background. I also like this photo because of what looks like a small girl on the swings, high up in the sky.
