Very cool image!

Composition:
Really, I can't find any real composition issue, the only thing that really cought my attention as far as this goes was the foreground, for some reason, my eye keeps getting drawn into the foreground of the shot, distracting me from the beauty of the shot.

Focus:
Overall good focus. I am not usre or not if NeatImage was used, but I personally don't think it ruined it if you did. It does kind of have a usrreal feal to it, but I think that just adds to the quality of the shot.

Color and Lighting:

This is what makes this shot and excellent photo instead of a good photo. The lighting is so dynamic. You picked the PERFECT time of day to shoot this. This kind of lighting does quite a few things:
1. Creates different shades and tones of colors, giving you a wide variety from dark all the way through light. Gives the shot a feeling of completeness.
2. Adds shadows that help bring out the contrast and brings out the contours of the land, giving it more depth.
3. Gives you a nice exposure. Nothing is too dark and nothing is blown out.
I would say you hit the nail on thead with the lighting here and that's why you were rewarded with you're good score.
Other:
A very captivating shot. Makes you feel like you are really there at tee-time. Very dyanamic and very pleasing to look at.

If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please feel free to PM me.

Best of luck to ya in future challenges!

Lovely scene. A touch less sky and more foreground would have improved the composition.

Nice composition but NeatImage (if that's what you used) has given it a slightly unreal appearance.especially on the dead tree and the green next to it.
