Either you have washed out the tone in this image or it was over exposed and needs adjustment.

i personally think it looks better not cropped down... it looks odd completely centered to me. it does seem washed out from overexposure, but that isn't really what you were asking about...

Centered does looks better, only not cropped, butit it had more space on the left side imo

There's a tiny bit of one hand and one foot that's cropped out-- would be better if they were whole. I like the idea of having the kid off-center, but I think the frame needs to be wider overall for it to look "right."

The top, And also the right side of the photo. Just as I have done, though it may not be the best crop as your composition is to tight on the left side.

it looks like you were standing alittle bit to the left of the swing, i would've stood dead center where I would've got kicked in the chin if i got too close.

There is no detail in the clothes. It's flat white.

Here is proof what is nice to one is not to others .. I like the original it gives a nice "feel" to the picture where as the cropped ones look too focused on the subject .. easier on theyes is how I mean for the first more to look at which means longer looking at it ... Nice Pic btw

I like the original shot. For me, it's "close enough" to the left vertical third to feel right. I think the overexposure here works well -- helping to bring out the face and take attention away from the clothes. The shoe being cropped in the bottom of the frame is a little distracting for me.

Overall, I really like this shot! Thanks for posting.
