Hi all!

I took this shot through the trees on the weekend while picking up my badly sliced golf ball. Had to crop the photo a fair bit to get the composition I wanted. Your comments are welcome! http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

The crop of the picture is pretty good with the trees around the picture, although the picture isnt that sharp. But overall is a nice crop with the texture surrounding it although i would go for wide angle lense. And got closer.

Cheers!

Boutty,
Nice idea but I find the composition is very central. Sometimes this works but I think this time it needs to be a bit more off centre. The horizontal branch districted me a bit too. See what you think of the crop. Not sure what settings you used but i think you need more depth of field to bring out the detail in the bark and grass as well as the players.

abat thank you heaps! Your crop is certainly bring the photo out in different mood. It's true the branch on top RHS bordered me a bit.http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif As far as the settings I reckon it was the hand's movement; I've taken this with one hand.http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif I have other shots without the players which was in better details. Thanks again for your comments.

28 handicap is generous for some golfers but a true indication for others, I'd stick to golf Boutty!

Yes dodger, it's a great game and at least good excuses to see different places.;)
I was trying out the new driver, hence this picture was 'discovered'. I am quite like it; pity picture was not sharp... Thanks for pop in.
