I find the picture extremely pleasing.. only one issue.. on the far right.. is that a golf ball sittin by itself?

Comment by naplesmusc:
I've been around golf & driving ranges...first two things I notice are the background building/sky and the distance between father/son. also hurting the scene is that the boy doesn't have a golf ball. the pose on both suggest the boy could be looking at a male stranger. a lot of my experience suggests that the father is usually behind the son, so to be able to watch the son. I think you'd have a great capture of the boy looking back over his shoulder at what daddy is doing. as far as the processing, i like the nostalgic look of the colors. hope this helps,
Josh

e.t.a....usually the 'bond' in teaching the game (father/son or player/coach) is the two facing each other or the 'teacher' is standing facing the range. if you're on a range and you don't want anyone to bother you and want to be left alone, you have your back to range.

I love the concept, and I like the tilt and the vig. Only change I would maybe suggest is to see a bit more detail on the expression, and maybe have daddy a bit more OOF. I really like the suggestion to do a whole series of these I think even if you didn't do the stock stuff with it, well it would be wonderful stuff for personal memories and the like! Great shot IMHO.

oh, more of that cool processing - cool cool cool

When mailboxes become art - we truly see the magic of photography!

Very nice capture - really gets the moment with the boy's expression as he concentrates on imitating the golfer. Technically it doesn't look over processed to me, the tilt and vignette works, and the border is okay. The buildings in the background are a little distracting, but I guess there wasn't much you could do about that!

Overexposed - hah! Don't any of these people read magazines? Look at catalogs?

it's great, just the way it is.

It looks like it's ready to go in a magazine.

Here's my thing with DPC and it's voters - I think comments and voting are all biased toward wall art - a mere tiny fraction of the uses of photography in this media hungry society.

So go shoot the rest of this series - driving, putting, irons, sand traps, driving the carts, and process them all like this and get them up on a macro stock site and just wait for the money to come in! Love this whole concept.

I swore I commented on this. Way to go! Loved it. A classic - we can all relate to it. I loved his juxtaposition between the slats of the metal fence. Perfect title too!! Glad to see more of your stuff again.
