Critique my Photo - Swing

-
All comments welcome

This section is intended to work in a way where I post one of my pictures, and hopefully get some constructive comments on how to improve the photo. Which angle works best ? Is the subject clear enough ? All comments are welcome. After all we are here to learn.


Camera: Pentax K200d Lens: Pentax 18-55mm @ 18mm, f/8, 1/500, ISO 100

The Swing
This photo is taken on a November morning in Maldives, when sun was still quite low in the sky.

Desired effect:
The subject is a swing which was positioned on the left 1/3 of the photo. From there, 2 diagonal lines (stones and sand coastline) hopefully lead the eye towards the bar in the background which is also balancing out the swing.

Your Comments ?
