The tones and the movement of the swing adds up to the tension in the pic?it?s a bit daunting and ghostly well conveyed message lovely pic if I could rate higher than 7 I would

Paul, That is exactly what I was thinking! Thanks for saving me all the typing.
Seriously, Sebastian, I really like this photo and I couldn't say it any better than Paul did.

This is quite a dramatic image.
The subject of the image is simple enough, a swing set. Nothing out of the ordinary about this subject for it is very common. Simply enough, many have spent an innocent summer day frolicking around them during their youths. The bright highlight in the clouds runs along the swing set, really calling attention to it.
This image takes that idea and really pushes it. The swing set itself appears on a lush and grassy plain. If it were not for the dirt patches below the swings, the swing set would almost appear to be completely forgotten by someone whose youth has drifted to adulthood. However, the empty patches do indicate some use. Like the small trees in the background, youth passes with time. People grow out of the simple pleasures of childhood. This is a scene in transition.
The clouds rolling in emphasize the transition. They are dark and on the horizon a heavy rain falls. There is almost the implication of a transition from the innocence of youth to something else more sinister. The twisted swing on adds tension to the image, but it also breaks up the symmetry of the geometric swing set. Again, there is an implication of the transition from youth to something else, something twisted. To further the dark mood of the image, the swing set is shown in silhouette. With the angles at the corners and the support, the silhouette of the swing with the ropes hanging down really reminds me of a gallows.
This image really is a visual feast of drama and tension.

This really hangs together well to make a unified whole. Excellent framing. I do agree that the sky is perhaps slightly overdone.

Great composition and a nice feeling of a place left deserted. The sky's maybe a touch over done and this impinges on the main feature. But very good.
