Default Tennis in Spain
Been taking some shots at the local tennis club here in Spain.

Trying to enhance my "events photography", so please any crits and comments more than welcome

Thanks
Dean

The first one made me chuckle. Great moment.

It'd be nice if we could see the ball in the second one, but it still looks good to me. The motion blur's actually pretty cool in this shot.

Hmmmm...

Unfortunately, neither of these do anything for me...

The first one isn't flattering at all - it looks like she's getting ready to scratch herself, and the angle emphasizes her hips in an unflattering way.

With the second one, I like the expression a lot - unfortunately, it may be a bit soft (although that can be hard to tell at this resolution). I like the bluring of the racket and arm, it adds to the motion. Unfortunately, I really don't like the crop at the wrist. I'd also really like to see a ball - just to be able to tell if he hit it or not with all that emotion...

Keep shooting. Tennis can be a real challenge to shoot.

Cheers!
Ken
