A little swing for toddlers and small children. Very handy to hang inside your house and useful for rainy days.
TECH-INFO: the swing hangs in a door passage, which is a rather narrow space. I avoided photographing the door frame by using a telephoto lens. Lighting was pretty easy. A speedlight flash standing at the right of me, pointed to ceiling. The angle between the flash direction and the ceiling was around 45 degrees. The ceiling bounced the light to the swing. So it acts as some kind of softbox or umbrella. You can see the reflection of the light if you look at the yellow seat. The shutter time was very high to kill all ambient light. This makes the corridor behind the chair very dark. The floor below the seat, which was lit too, is not visible on the image because of the narrow view of the telephoto lens. During post-processing I only enhanced colors a little bit.

The technique you used for this shot really did the trick, Paul. As Derek said, until you read your description, it was rather a puzzle as to what you were looking at. Well thought out image!
