I'm not seeing the main image at all, I'm afraid. Tried a couple of page reloads, but nothing doing.

Ozbonography: my mistake - it's there now.

Seeing the tone and the subject, "Green?" seems an adequate title to me.
OTOH, this is my first post here, after several months of lurking, so thanks for your (almost) dalily dose of inspiring images.

I like this, looks bleak, cold and windswept. The last hole?

Very creative I must say. The dark tones are making it quite ominous.

I quite like the colour tone as it's a little different from the normal black and white. I also like the more descriptive way you've spoken about the stages you've gone through to get to the final image. Thanks. I have to ask though, with moving clouds or the flag, how do you cope with that when you merge the images ?

Amazing photo! Very nicely seen and captured. Love it :)
Thanks for sharing! :)

Craig: 'the last hole' is my favourite so far.

Justin: the two exposures were merged using a very precise mask along the horizon, so in this instance the movement in the different shots didn't affect the final image; i.e. the bottom half is the long exposure, the top half is the shorter one.

this is lovely. you really been capturing my mood lately. the stark whie flag leaps off the green and the turmoil in the clouds.... nice. i am not sure about the lines on the green tho... kinda pulls the eye away.

o' please tell me that i missed the calendar by signing up for tutorials yesterday. lol.

"The loneliness of the long distance golfer"?

OK, it's Friday...

Cracking shot Dave.

amazing, a golf camn like i never imagined :)

Or perhaps " The Nineteenth Beckons"?

Ok, I'll stop now!

just brilliant. i like the dark mood and the perfect bw processing.

Wonderful shot. it looks like a 3D image. Excellent processing as usual!

Amazing atmosphere. Love the result.

Which course is it?

Par Eternal

Wow, this is confusing , in a good way. It looks like wave in the back, but a gold course. Crazy! Looks like an intense golf course! Nice processing!

Beautiful mood!

Looks pretty apocalyptical - so naturally thought of the Fore Horsemen ;-)

Hi Dave, Great Image! Really enjoy the greyish/greenish cast that you gave to it. Provides a very dark, eerie feeling. How about a title such as, "The End of a Dark Course".

Stunning shot, really love it! The combination of exposures makes for an incredible image!

I know where this is, and I bet you had to put down the coffee cup to get the camera out of the bag..!!! csj

Coming from a family of golfers...."Just one more hole?"

Hilarious and apropos! :)

I say this is one excellent work Dave!!! Love the toning color!

It all works perfectly, like one of Bill Brandt's moody landscapes. That's a damn fine bit of masking btw!

To A Tee ?

"The Golf Gods" The stark/bright tee draws me in instantly as though "the golf gods" above have shown me the light.

Excellent focus (not, but yes, the technical focus of the camera lens, but subjectively this image tells its story in a strong way. The subtle toning "tips the scale". A masterful work.

Thanks all. And I haven't changed the title yet, but I think that 'the last hole' is still my favourite – thanks Craig.

like a dreamscape -- the tones are bold and the sky seems ready to erupt into storms. Great imagery.

How about "Worth a shot" ;)

Okay, I'll throw my hat in the ring here. How about "Fore-cast: Cloudy"? Great shot as always Dave, and being a golfer I can really appreciate this one. Gotta run, tee time's in an hour. :-)

You'll have plenty more of these scenes now that Donald Trump has had his way.

That aside, I most like the lines leading you into the image.

Impressive! Love the contrast in scale between the isolated flag and the forbidding sky.

Which Course is it?

name: "Ominous Target"

Like it!
