Default Would you like to swing on a star...

Once again I am venturing out of my comfort zone. I don't have the exif data for this, it was shot with a canon P&S, I assume that is why there is no data for it. Mods if you have to remove it or just move it, feel free to. I just wanted some general critique on whether it works as a photo. I was going to chuck it, but when I got home and saw it on the screen, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I feel it doesn't have that same fun, happy amusement park feel, but more of a dreary day, doing the same thing over and over. Thoughts?

It looks like a far away memory, keep it for sure.

Did you add some sort of texture?

Yup! I love it!
Like I said earlier, it looks like a memory that's just barely there.
It gives me chills (that's a good thing!).

I'd love to see more of your work, I'm off to visit your flickr!

thanks!! My flickr is mostly people pics, I am just starting to venture out and take pics of things without faces I love the emotions that you can see on faces, I am trying to transmit those same emotions into objects, if that makes any sense.

The best photographs are those that put emotion into objects. I'm sure you'll do well!

I like it I wouldn't change a thing.

I will keep this in mind as inspiration for future shoots
