Tiger would be proud the only thing that bugs me is the tennis shoe or what looks like one..maybe just the head and ball without the foot... 9

Nice sharp selective focus on the ball and good colours. The border works well. I think that I'd have liked the ball a little bit less centred.

I love golf ! Nice set up. The only I'd change would be to put a golf shoe on the golfer. Jacko. 9

Wow! This is great - one of my favorites in the challenge so far! The DOF is excellent. This photo makes you want to know what happened next. I also love the lighting on the club. Great job - hope you do well in the challenge:)

Good use of very shallow DOF and solid framing and composition. This is a strong image. Nike will be pleased. :)

huge tonal range here, under club is too dark, top of ball is too light - turn the logo or words toward us

The anticipation of striking the ball creates the action here. Great use of DOF. The colors could be enhanced a little.

I like the idea here... however to make this more effective I might have gone for an obvious swing to the golf club, slowing the shutter quite a bit would have been really cool, although challenging to get the shot it would have really added to the action of this photo. As it is it just looks like the club is sitting still on the grass right behind the ball. I love your DOF though. Also nice job leaving room in the photo for the ball to travel. -7-

I've seen way too many shots like this elsewhere. I'd like to see one of the moment of impact though, now that would be a photo.

The only not overexposed golf ball in this challenge. Great shot, perfect DOF

I don't know if I like the foot in the shot or not. I guess it adds a little more interest. Nice "crisp" image, great DOF.

good, tight shot. Maybe a slightly different arrangement so that you didn't have the club and leg merging together ? Also the white thing (tee marker?) is an odd blurry highlight just above the club and bothers me a bit.

For extra points, you could have tee'ed the ball up with the logos set up for the camera viewpoint.

Good shooting. Maybe the Nike swish should of been turned to face the camera?
