Spiralling

[spacedbar]

Hello everyone! I'm new here and I'm just really interested in picking up photography as a hobby so help me point out where I can improve

It's a photo of those spiralling things at playgrounds. Put my camera into it and shot towards the sky. Was on aperture priority mode if I'm right. This is without post-processing.

Camera Nikon D40X
Exposure 0.001 sec (1/1000)
Aperture f/4.5
Focal Length 18 mm
Focal Length 18.3 mm
ISO Speed 100

P.S. No idea why Flickr gives me two focal lengths, any one can tell me why?

thanks for your comments! (:

anything not good about the composition though?

I think it would've been improved with a smaller aperture (or at least a different focus point) so that the top of the spiral was in focus.

Agreed. Nice idea and composition, but suffers from lack of focus.
