Re: The mysterious swing

Personally I would leave the picture as it is other than experimenting with desaturating the image by different amounts to see if it adds a touch more mystery to it.
Do you take these pictures as just 'snaps' of what you come across or because they evoke some deeper insight within yourself? I say his because this image works ( at least) on two levels - a mere pictorial representation of a child's swing on s foggy day or as an image with much deeper yet subtle symbolic meanings. It's the sort of picture you often see featuring on the front of a ' murder novel' or on the cover of a ' new wave' album.
Either way I like it - very much.

During walking around the old city walls, the fogg came up. And we came across this view/landscape. And I was thinking, this would be a nice shot. In my mind there was a kid playiing with the swing, but he could not swing anymore because of a accident or he/she did move on. A bit dramatic. This did cross my mind, when I took the photo. Si yes there was akind of a deeper insight.
