One more golf photo, maybe the last of the year since frost will be coming soon and I'm not a "frosty golfer". Barry B. the local PGA Professional at Crescent Hill Golf Course in Louisville, KY, demonstrates a little body english coaxing a putt into the hole for a birdie on the Par-3 eighth hole. Would the putt have gone in if not the ballet act? Probably not! But then, that's golf!!

Thanks for viewing.

How funny! A caught moment on a beautiful day. It might have been slightly better if you'd been able to catch all his shadow and move him slightly more to the right a little off center, but then the moment would have been gone. I definitely am enjoying what you captured.

Hi Joe,
Humorous shot, looks like me when I try to get cellphone reception at my house, lol. I like the lighting here. There appears to be some slightly visible clone marks, but nothing serious. A shame about the glare from the sun hitting the golf club, however the sharpness looks impeccable. Great photo.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Joe,

I'm not a golfer, but this is a funny capture. Very sharp and I like the vignetting.

Hi Joe!

I recognize this move; it's what I call interpretive dance. A very nice capture indeed.

I felt like this the other day when I was driving through a cemetery. The tree branches and leaves were hanging low over the road. As I drove through them I ducked...as if they were going to hit me when I was driving the car.

Well timed shot, love the pose and expressions. A little tidying up for the cloning at the upper portion ( trees/branches) its obvious.
