Golfing Action Shot by Daniel Smith

This item is a photographic print, likely a color photograph, depicting a male golfer in mid-swing. The image is oriented vertically but the subject himself is depicted upside down relative to the typical viewing orientation of the photo, suggesting an intentional artistic choice or a mounting error. The golfer, a fair-haired individual, is wearing a white collared shirt and what appears to be a light-colored, possibly pink or peach, necktie or ascot, which is prominently displayed. He is holding a golf club that extends downwards in the frame, with the club head visible. The background is largely blurred, indicating a shallow depth of field, but hints of green (turf) and other figures in the distance suggest an outdoor golf course setting. The overall color palette is somewhat muted with natural tones dominating. There are visible condition issues on the print, including what appears to be a diagonal crease or scratch running across the image, particularly noticeable near the bottom right quadrant. There also seems to be some light discoloration or fading, and potentially some surface abrasions or dust particles. A notable feature is a handwritten inscription or signature in the upper left corner, 'Daniel Smith', indicating the photographer or the subject's signature. The print itself is framed or mounted with a visible light-colored border, likely matting. The quality of the original print appears to be fairly high, suggesting it might be a professional photographic print rather than a casual snapshot. The visible wear indicates it has been handled or displayed for some time. There are also tiny white specks visible on the lower right portion of the image, which could be dust under glass or flaws on the print itself. The style suggests it could be from the latter half of the 20th century or early 21st century.
