Like it, and the grainyness works well. The light spot under the hand is a little distracting, but nothing you could do within challenge rules to remove it.

Nice panorama and I like the border to artificially hem this photo in. I think you could have cropped it a little more on the top and both sides to focus more on this fairway with the 3 or 4 trees at the cartpath by the water bounding the top edge and gotten just as good a shot with less distractions on the edges. The smoothness of the grounds at the bottom of the photo contrast sharply with the bare trees at the bottom and that's good but they also compete with the branchy activity of the trees at the top of the photo and, to me, that's not so good. Both sandtrap and water have a few hotspots but remarkably less than I would expect given the harshness of the lighting you were working with (see the shadows of the tree in the middle-right of the photo for a realistic expression of the time of day). Oddly, because of the mound between green and tee box at the bottom of the photo, the smaller trees' shadows appear to be shot much later in the day. This might make for a surprising shot someday. You could utilize midday lighting (who would do that) but give the aspect of being later in the day. Just a thought.

The strong points of this image are the leading lines of the path and the creeks at the left and right side. Nice color and tone balance. Like it.

This is certainly a sacred place to my husband, LOL! A lovely shot overall, the way the green curves around the shot and the water framing it works very well. The colors could pop just a tad more and the cropping could be a little tighter on the bottom to me. An 8

Haven't a clue what to score this ... as an advertising/stock photograph of a golf course it's faultless, I think; however I'm looking for something that says a little more about the sacredness of the subject than this purely technically expert representation. Perhaps there is that feeling of nature tamed, that cleaning-up of a natural world and in some sense fooling people with that here. Though I'm not certain it's deliberate, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt - 8, for now.

nice detail, crisp and clean, nice light and the inner life can flourish anywhere if it is allowed
