One of the assignments of the photography course is to take pictures of playing kids. Most kids, even adults :), like the swing and so does my nephew. Again I'm posting an image in B&W because my feeling is that movement is enhanced by removing the colors and increasing the contrast. I finally came down by choosing 1/60 sec as the shutter speed (in Tv mode), to have the kid sharp enough and the rest a bit blurry.

I think your photography teacher will be pleased. Great shot all around - B&W does enhance the moovement and textures. Is your class in Bruges ?
