A black and white photograph featuring a close-up of a golf ball on a tee, with the blurred edge of a golf club head in the upper left corner, suggesting motion or impact. The composition focuses on the textures and contrasts between the dimpled surface of the ball and the smooth, reflective surface of the club.
