Like the spare-ness of this composition, although the palm tree feels a little crowded by the edge of the frame - would have adored it with the leaves placed/cropped just as far from the edge as the flag and the ball - that would add balance in my eyes. Nevertheless, a marvellous image, excellently executed. Bravo.

Nice minimalist composition. With only three primary elements, placement is everything. Something about the arrangement of the elements doesn't seem to jive into a coherent whole. It's a very nice photo, but somehow lacks that final punch. Bumped from 5 to 6 though.

Looks beautiful. From a strictly photographic point of view, I would say that the single palm tree and the flag compete for the viewers attention. One or the other would present a simpler, bolder statement. Just grass, sea, sky and solitary palm tree or solitary flag and golf ball.

very pictureesque, but sadly, not being a golfer, doesn't really do anything for me. in fact, i suspect the golfing aspect detracts a little bit from the natural beauty already in the shot... 4.

Good placement of the ball to create a compositional triangle.

Very intelligent use of the triangle in your composition. I'm torn between liking and hating this image. It's simple...but is it too simple? Hmmm. The sky is nice, but would a nice sunset help? I'm not sure. As is, it's a solid 6 in my book. A bit more saturation on the green might help. Nice exposure btw.
