(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) I find the layout of this photograph to be very strong. The goldball is off center in its placement just enough to add visual appeal rather than being static. The shadow of the golf ball is the perfect balance.
(2) BACKGROUND The background is very plain, which make the whites and textures of your golf ball really "pop". Background exposure is perhaps a bit uneven.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL The focus is very crisp. Exposure leaves a little burn out in the top of the golfball which is rather distracting. The shadow behind and under the golf ball add a certain depth to the photograph which is very nice.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL Your post processing is very good. Saturation is good, cropping is perfect.
(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo does not meet the challenge in my opinion. This same photograph entered into a more appropriate challenge would have done alot better.
(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO The subject here is good. The way you executed it is very good.
I really don't know where the square fits in, but I'll give you a 6 because I love golf balls (I'm a golf maniac). The white on the ball looks a little too harsh. Jacko. 6
Good idea, and cool lighting. But why did you let the ball burn out on the top? I think you could have pulled the exposure down by at least half a stop, and gotten a far more impact-full image. (6)
