Love the look of eager anticipation on his face. He's good to go, just serve the damn ball already! :) Great exposure and dof. Frustrating though, that someone walks right into the frame at the wrong time... bugger.

Looks like a line umpire to me. They don't move much. :)


The guy in the back is definitely a line judge. Short of cloning him out, there wasn't much I could do. I didn't have a press pass, so I couldn't just go wandering around to find the best angle. All I could do was shoot with a shallow DOF and hope for the best.

This looks more like a candid than a portrait - The person behind is very distracting.

Too bad the tennis player is growing a head out of his back. :D Your title is quite appropriate for the subject. He is focused on the play at hand, and the image is well focused as well. :) Nice job of handling a tough lighting environment. Good luck in the challenge.
