My father, an avid golfer, wanted a ball marker.

Here's is what I've come up with. It's about the size of a half dollar, I'm still pretty new to engraving so I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I like it, a whole lot better than I could do for sure. the leaf at the 12:30 position kind of seems to fall apart, and to me it looks like some of the shading lines in the larger leaves might look better if they tapered from thin to thicker as they near the stem. Again, a whole heap better than I could do, thanks for posting.

Nicely done. Pay close attention to getting a balance of background area.

I like it a lot, I think the composition is great. The big blank area makes it far more interesting to the eye and brain than if it were all filled with more of the same stuff.

You work shows that you have the ability to fill it up with more scrolls and chose to go for a much more dramatic appearance. I think it demands more attention from the viewer,, Bravo!!
