Photographer’s Note
I was staying at this golf hotell in Scania, overlooking the golf links from my room, and as the weather was not so stable this day it gave me a chance for this photo with a blend of sun and threatening clouds. As you can see not too many golfers out this afternoon.
Such weather is always offering a good photo opportunity, and I think with a little postwork, stressing the contrast a little and also reduce the light some, in the clouded part, may result in an interesting presentation.

Hi Jack...
Yeah... you can make me believe that! About the rain... Very dramatic mood present here, the dark heavy clouds in combination with spots of sunrays enhances the feeling...
A pleasing balanced composition as always, the textures in the sky are impressive!

Hi Jack. Magnificent sky, its chaos superbly contrasted by the manicured, sunlit golf course.You have really placed the viewer in the picture thanks to a well chosen POV.

Hello Jack
I like the dark, ominous sky & superb tonal range. Good sharpness, colour, lighting, & contrast, with excellent layering. Well done!

I liked it in the afternoon, when the sun is behind me and the sky up front and above, are brooding. Just the tonality I need to get the whole scene, completely well exposed and dramatic. Just like what you have here Jack. But not too much shadow/highlight processing or else you might get the "halo" effect along the border between them. Here its fine.
Thanks Jack

Hi Jack,
Beautiful one with a impressive mood sky and atmosphere with the contrasting bright luminosity and shadows of the nice trees. You captured so well in a fantastic perspective and enquadrement view. Clear picture, lovely scenery and moment, the red-withe houses contrasting the lovely green tones and the dense cloudy grey-withe sky. Splendid colors, contrast, light and sharpness. A great work and BRAVO!
Congratulations and my best regards.

Very cool photo, Jack, the way in which you manage to convey the pre-rain mood with the light and slightly menacing clouds is really fine. Good interplay of light and shadows, and good vivid color dashes provided by the buildings along the golf course. Greetings from Kyoto (will go for a morning temple shoot with Pixelterror tomorrow).

Hello Jack,
Great capture here... the middle clouds are outstanding and the lovely warm light is great too.
If it were me I would be tempted to crop out some of the top dark clouds... I'd be careful to leave in enough so that the viewer could see how dark they are, but I'd hope to shift some more focus to the middle clouds.
Thanks for sharing. Lewis.

Beautiful picture!
Clouds are captured very well and neat.
Green color is pleasant in your shot but I think color of grass should be more brighter where sunlit.
Well done,

Hi Jack, Any view with a golf course in it has a head start and this is good to see.The well maintained grassed areas against the brooding sky is a strong image. Well shown.

This nordic light is well associated to the green of the golf course and putting green. A very nice place to play for sure even if the sky is a bit "menacant";
You have done very well here.

Impressive shot, Jack. I just love that combination of dark cloud, bright fluffy cloud and sunshine. And combined with the bright green and the dynamic red, it creates a very attractive and dramatic shot. And what about you - did YOU play golf?

Hi Jack,
What an amazing cacth!
The strong colour of the greenery iluminated by the sun makes a splendid contrast with the dark scene happening in the sky. The atmosphere is quite impressive. I agree with you - sometimes the weather conditions are not good, but can give us great opportunities for shooting. Congratulations for this excellent work!
TFS,

Jack bonsoir !
Les terrains de golf sont très photogéniques mais celui-ci est sous une lumière d'avant orage. Le ciel est extraordinaire. Les arbres vont frissonner au vent qui précède la pluie. C'est une photo des plus belles !

Hi Jack,
This image showed up today on the TE front page as a feature destination. I know it was posted long ago but I never saw it so must say how absolutely stunned I am by the brilliance of this shot, the details, the vivid rich colors, and the incredible composition. I love it and belated congratulations. TFS. Gerald

A beautifully contrasted image which really accentuates the colours Jack - such a nice study in light and shade - the effect of the reds on the overall colourscape is wonderful.
