Right shoulder too low, head movement off center, raising of left heel, otherwise a nice shot (from the camera I mean)

Hmmm so where is this sport played? This would be a fun one to watch lol. Interesting shot :D

Ha, awesome!

Penny, well aware that I'm a fanatic golfer, said "There's a naked golfer entered!" This was before I had started viewing the sports entries. My response to that was "That's not a visual I want in my head..."

But of course I had to go look...

And I'm amazed, this is a beautiful, beautiful image. In perfectly good taste, immaculately well captured. It's vaguely reminiscent of a Muybridge; I don't know if that was intentional.

A 9 from me :-)

Okay, bumped to 10. Best image in the challenge :-)

So many puns, so little time.

is this a real sport? I mean, playing naked ..Anyway, nice capture

Great processing. Great idea. Like a study in the human form. Cool shot (no pun intended!).
05/07/2010 02:29:03 PM
one point extra for humor

I'm wondering if he lost a bet
05/06/2010 11:13:26 PM
Oh that's great. Totally unexpected. Not so sure about his form. j/k LOL

Nice timing on both the stroke, lol and cloud cover. Beautiful tones on the model!
This works very well and it's nice to see some cool diversity. Thanks....

The naked golfer gets high scores from me.
05/05/2010 10:52:30 PM
Hmmm, that's...interesting. I'm thinking I'm going to avoid that course :)
05/05/2010 10:24:16 PM
When yelling four does that indicate incoming ball or or a set of them.........

Not really sure if I wanted to see a naked bum playing golf, but in the spirit of good photography, I will take it. Sepia does good justice here. I would just have wished for the 'action' to be caught more instantly (frozen e.g.). Good job! 8/10.
05/05/2010 03:28:58 PM
Good shot ( I think I know where I'm going wrong with my swing now)
05/05/2010 12:01:54 PM
ummm, lol. Well You did capture the action of a sport which is more then many of these entries have done so 7. ok ok, 8.
05/05/2010 12:01:09 PM
Really don't know what to say. Nice processing I guess.
05/05/2010 07:26:03 AM
man, you've got balls...
05/05/2010 03:10:41 AM
LOL - My my my... that is a big stick you have there. 7 for bravery

I like it. Modern version of the discus thrower?
