Nice. I'd have made it a vertical, as the right side in particular doesn't add much to the image and you'd have left some space for copy (if this were a real product shot for an add). Would have given the ball somewhere to go, as well. Just a guess, but was the original underexposed? There's a grayish cast overall , and lots of noise in the blue channel. Almost as if you'd tried to increase the brightness but couldn't go far enough because of the increased noise. If this isn't the case, I'd try shifting the white level to 250 or 245, and maybe raising the gamma to 1.10. Still quite good.

Nice detail, but the picture seems to have a bluish or greenish cast.

It needs something. Like being on a tee or a golf club coming down to strike it or something.

Love your shot. It looks very sharp. The only flaws I see are a slight red color cast on the top half of the ball (hope it is not just my monitor, it is color profiled though) and a loss of detail due to blown highlights in the upper right quadrant. I understand the difficulty of exposing in bright sunlight. Maybe the exposure would have been easier earlier in the morning or at the end of the day? Fine effort. I rate this photo high.

Very simple, uncluttered, powerful focus on the brand name. The horizon hits the ball in just the right place.

I really enjoy this pic. The contrast of grass and sky, along with the excellent detail of the golf ball really catch my eye. It makes me want to buy a sleeve of them and I don't even golf. Well done!

wonderful! Only thing I can see is a slight rise in the horizon (bushes?) on the LHS. Love the use of the ball's shadow too
