Charming!

You've caught a lovely childhood moment! I agree that you have over-emphasized the swing ropes: they appear much thicker than the ropes in your reference photo. Even without seeing the reference photo, the ropes appear to be out of place. I would thin them down and soften the sharp detail, or else, as John Z suggests, simply eliminate them altogether. They do not appear necessary to your charming narrative.
