Settings: f/2.8, 1/800th of a second, ISO 100, 300mm
The story: Just a standalone assignment for the club championship at a local golf course. The golf/photography gods smiled on me, because (1) the course gave me a cart and (2) I caught the final pairing as they came down 17. The guy above was the winner.
Why I like it: I'm a sucker for a photograph with an emotive face looking off frame. To me, it's a great metaphor for the vulnerability in life: looking to an uncertain future. And it works for sad, pensive faces. But it also works for hopeful, positive faces (like this guy). There's pretty good energy to this shot, too, which is sometimes tricky to find in a follow-through. Interesting lines with arms, club, eyes.
