 Got lucky on the golf course. Westlake, Ohio -Hilliard Lakes GC - AKA "li'l Augusta. The Sony V1 is great when you need a portable "sports" camera. 6:31 am - foggy and no wind. Shot came off great right off the camera. Slight crop, sharpened a little and added a little contrast using global curves adjustment layer.

Beautiful!!! This is an incredible shot. How did you get the sunlight to shine on the green like that? Who do you have deals with? Hmm... Zeus, or some other creature in the sky?? Really, this is just so striking, I have to give it a 10. I have no choice.

Nice capture of the sun rays. It's as if the sun is looking down on the flag.

2 - DMC - No action. Nice picture of a green nestled in trees but - that is not what you were challenged to do.

Really pretty. Too bad there wasn't a golfer there to catch mid-swing.

Great photo.

Also, my sympathies since you're probably getting marked down for not taking an action shot. Although, the quality of this picture may overcome that. 9

Reminds me of those motivation posters. Good shot, might be just a tad overblown in the beginning of the light. Still nice shot.

It sure is divine.

I loved this shot, but the challenge was to capture the action of the sport.

Gave this a 5 to start. changed to a 7. I really like this shot. Soothing.

a very pleasant picture but the challenge details said to show action

This is a really nice shot, but I don't think it captures the "action" of a sport.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Ah, yes....I really like the feel here. Great job of capturing the magic of a golf course in the early morning. I can feel like I am there.

The flag was a little hard to find. This doesn't really show me action, but nice lighting.

I love the rays and i bet if there was a person in the shot it'd be a 10

How long did it take you to find this spot?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very nice. Lacks the action required. Nice lighting, comp and dof. The trees top and right give a interesting foreground border, almost a 3d sense to it all.

A nice view of a golf course but I dont see any action, so I must vote it down, sorry.
 07/13/2005 12:30:12 AM
looks like nature foto, no relavance with sports
 07/13/2005 12:03:58 AM
Wow, Top 10! The lighting in this photo is spectacular!
