Let me start off, that I know nothing about golf! I gave you a 9 because I loved the crisp focus and bright coloration and lighting here, even the golf club is perfectly clean. I liked the none focus of the grass directing my eye away and to the club and ball. Congrats on top 5!

Comment by GolferDDS:
I have to critique this honestly because I am a golfer!! Unfortunately, I see several flaws :(. The first thing is that the ball is tee'd up in high grass which cannot be the T box. Does the title of the picture intimate that the player is cheating? The challenge stipulates the appearance of action. It looks like the club is resting on the ground or on a metal plate and the top is out of focus. The grass is oversaturated. the top of the ball is overexposed. Sorry, it's just not realistic to me. 5. Don't feel too badly, it will probably get a better score than my entry! I hope you take my critique in a positive and constructive way.

A bit heavy on the edit - the blue is bleeding on to the greens and the clouds look a bit crunchy.

Thanks! Yeah, I don't see the color tinting mentioned, but then I do remember a last minute WB adjustment to it where I warmed it up some as it seemed to blue-ish to me at the time.
