Not sure what this pictures 'transmits' to me. It seems the focal point was the grass behind the swing and not the swing itself. I would have expected more bokeh if the swing had been in focus only. Or it may just be any PP you did on it that over sharpened the grass. The composition is ok but the overall picture doesn't do much for me. What message were you trying to convey with this image?

I think you need a child in the picture to complete the story. Right now, it doesn't really say anything to me.
