hehe - must admit that it was my first impression that it was travelling backwards when I viewed the thumbnail, but only because I couldn't see anyone daft enough to be anywhere near the front end after that balls been hit!!

Looks really good though!!!

You shouldn't have told us it was moving away, you've spoilt the illusion of you been a plonker laid so close to the incoming club!!! Congrats on the EC and soo to get a well deserved RC. Great shot Kim

great image and congratulations on the EC

and it doesn't matter if the club is moving backwards - it has to anyway to start the golf swing before swinging forward and through the ball =)

great composition and convincing realism

keep up the great work

Hello Kim, such a fine shot with an action blurr that compliments the detailed clarity of the golf ball. Good exposure and well done on the EC.

When I first looked Kim, I thought: either he's very brave or he has a huge telephoto lens, great idea to use the take away (incidentally its the only part of my swing that's ok) the positioning is very good too. Great shot well thought out, Adrian
