Was thinking Titanic, but others will probably do a better job. I live near a golf course, so Happy Gilmore was another good choice. Needed something with tight cropping to reduce distracting elements. This seemed the best scene for me. :-)

Thanks to everyone for your votes. This shot has completely smashed my personal best, so I'm absolutely ecstatic! I guess sometimes things just work. Special thanks to my brother in law for his help and patience with this shot.

That was a hilarious movie...your photo seems just a tad bit over exposed.

I didn't see the movie, but I have to tell the photographer how much I like this. I can feel the concentration as the model tries to make the ball fall into the cup. funny and original.

You've picked one of my favorite movies ever. The person in the pictures kinda looks like adam sandler too :) I really like the composition. May have gotten a little better lighting on the persons face by having the side of his face towards the sun kind of how the ball is. Either way great shot and extra points for a sandler movie.
