| Use of infrared makes the golf course look like it's covered in snow. Interesting effect. Although I can easily make out the flag marker and the golfer with his bag, I see the big tree and impressive sky as a main focal points and then see the golfer and course as secondary elements. 5 |

| Looks like near-IR to me... nice shot, good tree detail... I would have liked to see some more detail on the grass, but it's hard to get that when shooting with such a dark filter. Cloud pattern is very cool. I really like the composition with the strong lines of the treeline and cloud patterns. |

A great IR shot - golf shots are very hard due to being flat, but this is quite well done.
I would have positioned it so that the flag was more alone - at the moment it is getting caught up with the tree. |

either infrared or a nuclear winter. for your sake I'll hoping for the IR. :) Neat shot...makes the clouds really pop. not sure how well the DPC crowd will receive it, but i think it's good. I lost the flag though...it took a minute to see it. love the repeating lines inthe clouds and trees. very nice.

| I like the decision to use infra-red here. I also really like the negative space in the sky. In my eye, the portrait orientation showing a lot of the sky creates some tension in the shot - The tree and golfer appear to be the more important aspects of the shot. I would like to see this as a landscape shot, imho. I think the golfer is a great touch, showing the diminuitive size with respect to the tree, but I think he/she gets overpowered by the sky and tree combined. |

| I really like the IR tones. Along with the deep DOF and very wide angle view, as well as, the miniscule appearance of the person and golf bag(?) the impact of this photo lies in how it conveys the immensity and scale of the space it presents. It does this in both the verticle and horizontal dimensions. Very well done. 8 |

My only gripe is that the horizon isn't straight, which makes the tree appear to not be straight either. Even if the horizon isn't straight in real life, I think straightening it in this photo would improve it. 9 |

I think this is the first time I've seen a golf course in IR. I'm not a major fan of the effect personally unless it has real purpose which, because of the surreality of it, tends to be good for supernatural vibes or social statements, like pollution shots etc. I do quite like it when it's mixed with full colour though.
You've done it well and your shot is well composed. |

| Fantastic! I never would have thought to try and turn a summer scene into Faux Winter. (Perhaps I just don't get out much). It's a great contrast with the golfer and course, and such a strong light.. the bluish tone just gives it a little something extra too. |
