It took a little bit of set up to get this shot accomplished. The interesting part is that two guys were playing a few courts over. When I got done, one of the guys said, "so you have to tell us what you've been doing since we've been discussing you for the last 15 minutes." I laughed and explained. This is my first shot using Topaz Adjust, so I'm interested to see if it does well (or at least better than most of my entries).
The shot is set up of course, not a live action shot. But, I've been playing tennis for 20+ years, so hopefully my pose isn't too far from reality.

You nailed the Challenge with this shot! Even though this isn't the type of picture that I'd normaly stop and stare at, it totaly captivates me! I've been back looking at this and raising my score each time! This time a 9.. I may be back with a 10
Nice shot...I am sure the timing for this was fairly difficult. There is a good shallow DOF. I would almost expect to see a shot like this in sports illustrated.
