Girl on a Swing

I've been obsessing about another photo, because it seems to capture an instant we can all relate to from childhood. I decided to try and draw it, because that is what I do these days, and the challenge of capturing both the motion and the e-motion kept me busy for quite a while. What is posted here is the third full attempt at this drawing. Still far from perfect, but I'm not sure what perfect would look like in this context. The photo is, I suppose, a 'perfect' rendition of the subject, but I think drawings can convey something different, just as poems relate to but differ from prose. See what you think...
