Boys I had a hard time making this shot work. Wanted to include a golf ball but couldn't get the proper exposure. It might get hammered, but I'm just glad I stuck with my original idea. Maybe only golfers will understand the title :)

I've been visiting this photo all week. I like it and it deserves commenting but I have had trouble articulating my feelings. I'm running out of time so I'm just going to suffice by saying "I like this"....Well done! Shhhhh...I promise not to tell mommy. =7 syamjonimi

She's gonna find out anyway! Nice reflection.

I have to wonder where this photo was taken. The grass is so odd. Unless it was taken at a golf course, then that explains it, cause they have funny grass there. I love the reflection in the club. Definately looks new. Possibly not even used once. The angle is great, lighting if great. Excelent photo. Good luck in the challenge.

Great title and nice shot.

Excellent!

An excellent shot. Bright vivid colours. Could you have got the club handle abit more in focus? Very good anyway!

nice title and shiny shot! have you tried taking an action shot of this club?

Mmmm....shiny new toys...i can certainly relate to the feeling of having and playing with new toys.
08/14/2002 01:02:00 PM
Too funny. Great reflections.

Nice pic, but I was hoping to see something clever in the reflection, like a sports car, or a lady who isnt Mommy.

Nice clarity. The reflections give it shape. Good color.

10 – no hesitation… This is an excellent shot. You have really captured the shiny new feel to the club and DOF is as good as it gets… Good luck…

This is an awesome picture, its so sharp and sleek.

I dislike golf and the culture of gulf. But I like this photo.

Effect of golf club is neat. Is that you taking a picture showing in the reflection? I probably wouldn't have noticed it much except I kept trying to avoid getting myself in a reflection in my effort. The composition is nice, and contrast is eye-catching. If it were me, I might experiment with some other backgrounds, but, all in all, a nice effort.

nice composition...
08/12/2002 01:46:00 PM
Great idea! I hope this appeals to non-golfers too ... as a golfer, I totally get it!
08/12/2002 12:32:00 PM
Great photo! Got a tiny bit of your reflection in the club but that was probably hard to avoid :) Great idea too.
