Nice action shot, although back player looks a bit lost in the shot. Perhaps a tighter crop would help.

Why do you want to show me the back side of this athlete? I can care less to see the back. I want to see emotion. After all, sports is about emotion.

There is this guideline to sports photography. Advertisements that are in focus, like in this image, detract from the athlete, and the action going on. A shallower dof is needed in other words.

Also in this guideline, it mentions fence lines, walls, and nets that cut people in half. It looks like your athlete is being decapitated.

Comp could be tighter, excellent color, excellent capture, great texture, great light from what I can see, emotional value poor, dof poor, overall a fair attempt.

I think it's a nice shot, but I'm not feeling the frame here.

Image is a little small...

A good moment catured here, but I think the tennis player has to be more prominent in the shot to capture a sense of excitement.

Like the wide crop. Good shutter speed stopping the action. Good luck.

Nice capture but needs some more creativity to stand up against the competition.

You've got a good capture of a fun sport here. I really like the colors and I especially like how the shadows are not harsh at all. I do think this shot would have done better if it were focused in more on just the closer player, either through a longer lens or more limited DOF.

Would have been a better shot in a side view of the subject.
