Excellent image. The receiving player though is completely relaxed and not in the usual position for expecting a serve, which contrasts with the great tension in the server, as well as the title. That's just nitpicking though, great shot.

Nice wide angle. I like the effect.

very nice. This could sell as an inspirational poster that hangs in elementary school classrooms or something. I like how you burned the edges to centralize the focus on the server.

Too bad the target (other player) isn't highlighted as well. Just a sense of perspective thing.

Very clean and sharp work on the main subject. The burn tool is a bit obvious, not too over-the-top or anything, just not that subtle. Haven't decided if I like the wide-angle view or not...would be nice to see more of the main subject I think and move him off-center a little. All JMO of course. :) Good luck in the challenge.

BTW - Commenting only, not voting.

Nice shot; the color is a bit bright for the remainder of the scene, and a longer lens would have brought the opponent a little closer.

I find the edge elements distracting, but the color desat works very well in this photo, with the clear server.
