Howard,

I really like this shot! I like how the boy's form is frozen while the driver's head and ball show off the energy of motion.

Great capture! Very good sense of the "impact"

Hitting the tractor is the funnest part of hitting balls...and I'm 53! I also like to hit the balls into the trees so the tractor can't get them... I really don't mean to, they just go there.

No, that's the tractor with attachment for picking up the balls. The driver is enclosed in a cage so he doesn't get hit by any drives. My kids love to try to hit the tractor when it goes by.

Exposure, capture and timing spot on well meeting the theme.

Oh, is that a helicopter in the background middle right?

Great capture! This guy looks like the next Tiger! Right on theme.

Wow! Good timing, Howard. This really suits the theme to a tee. ;-)

Hi Howard, Well captured and good composition. I like the sense of momentum -- the way the weight/energy travels down from the boy's head through his body and through the club then ultimately to the ball. Good sense of released energy. Well done.

About 30 attempts, actually!

G'day Howard, what great timing. I enjoy a bit of golf myself and I don't think I could have done a better job of capturing a shot than this. I'm guessing it took a few attempts. The framing works for me too. Cheers, John
