Spent some time in Paris at Roland Garros. Took my new D800 for a test drive.

Nice opportunity and nice work! I love the clay as a background. It's got so much texture and it's so different from the standard tennis photo. My favorites are McEnroe - because it's McEnroe; and number 6 because of that reach - there's a lot of tension and obvious effort in that image.

I like #3 for revaling something we don't normally see - the squashing of the ball and stretching of the strings at impact ... nicely timed!

Yes that stretch in #6 is amazing, most people couldn't even stand like that, let alone be playing a backhand shot - and did you see she's sliding too?
