Gear: Nikon D300S; Nikon 300mm f/2.8 IS

The story: There's one thing that's really cool about photographing golf. Every single shot is going to be different. Every walk down the fairway. Every chip. And for the photographer, every step offers a different angle of a different shot. For this shot, I was actually just walking ahead of them to get to the next tee box. I turned around just to see their progress, and fired off this frame.
Why I like it: Layers & colors. There's a very different sense of place. The negative space up top is just odd, because the foreground and background are so far apart. I like it. And the orange stands out, and the different poses of the girls make it engaging.
Bonus pic. Trying to follow the Peter Read Miller advice that you can always crop a sports photo EVEN TIGHTER. And I find something soothing about the shaft + tree in the background forming a right angle.
