You asked for a critique, so here it is:

The shot looks too posed, even for a calendar. The smiles are too forced, and the rope too limp.

Someone (an anthropologist or something) did a study and found that certain facial expressions are universal.  One was the smile.  The smile is partly with the mouth and partly with the eyes.  Here the mouth is genuine, but the eyes are not.  You have to get your subjects to give a genuine expression.  Get someone to smile at you by using jokes or something.  You'll understand what I'm talking about.

The rope speaks for itself.

Other than that, the photo is technically perfect: exposure, focus, and all the rest.
