A shot from my son's H.S. Golf Tournament on Thursday. Nasty day for golf and photography. The wind blew 40 mpg with gusts to almost 50 out of the NW. Cold and Windy and Golf do not belong in the same sentence together. This young man, a teamate of my son's managed to shoot a 75 though. Pretty amazing in those conditions.

All critiques are greatly appreciated.

    Love the angle & composition. Wish it would have been a bit more underexposed. It seems "bright" to me and maybe a small underexposure would have seperated the flag, sand, and sky a bit more. Nevertheless, a very cool capture of a golf shot. thumb.gif

    I have been getting hot pictures a whole lot here lately. Same scenario as above and I think it has a lot to do with the weather. I have tried underexposing and I just can not nail it. Granted wind at 30-50 kicks up so much dust where I live. (Oklahoma) and then the given weather patterns lately. Just humid skies or overcast on the horizon. I am still working on mine but I think it is a great shot. Especially given the circumstances.
