If you hadn't said it was a wedding I would have wondered what this kid was doing on a golf course in a suit.

First thing I thought too.

The noise is a poor substitute for grain. I prefer the color version.

Ew.

Odd, I didn't edit it at all... Just a re-crop... Sorry....

No need to apologize. I just really don't like it. Why did you choose to crop from the right at that point, anyway?

I guess it doesn't matter. I think overall this pic is a wash.

I fixed/re-cropped it to the way I originally saw it... Can't explain what happened... :shrug:

Thanks for all the comments!! I appreciate them all. I've considered all replies and have gone with the B&W version. Just joking of course. It's glaringly obvious that the color version is the best of these. I do like some of the different crops I saw. It puts a different perspective on the image.

As for the whole 'boy in a suit on a golf course thing goes I saw an opportunity that I may never get again, lined up my shot, and released the shutter.

While looking at the little boy I was reminded of a time when I use to dream about what grownups did in their free time. He was just watching all these golfers chipping and putting and I felt he was wondering what it would be like. That was the intention of the shot.

Of course I asked the parents for a wardrobe change but that thought was shot down rather quickly :lmao:
