*Critique Club*
I like that even though we think that this shot would be overwhelmed with white, the shot isn't. It's got a blue tint, but it looks like it was done with lighting, or reflection of something blue, and not a post processing effect. That appeals to me.
The glare on the top of the ball is just a little distracting, but it adds character.
I don't follow golf at all, so I don't really know what the ? is for, maybe for "Can he do it or not?". I like how you have filled the entire bottom portion of the photo with the subject. I think it's quite nice this way. Visually appealing.
Focus and clarity are really great. Love the closeness and the texture of the ball.

PS Sorry if my comment is brief. The magazine cover shots are being taken off the CC list tonight, and I figured a shorter detailed crit is better than no crit at all.
I think you'd find that there'd be too many legal wrangles getting the nike swoosh on the front cover for them to use this shot. The concept/story link is a good idea though. 7.
