Just a mere week aften taking the Australian "Grand Slam" tournament, Maria Sharapova took a point for the Russian team against Israel, this afternoon, in the quarterfinals of the "Federation Cup" (World Group - Last 8).

The other point of the day was won by Israeli Shahar Peer, so the score as of now is 1-1, and the tie will be decided in tomorrow's matches.

Какой-то антихудожественный снимок получился. :)
She looks here not so lovely, oh no. But photo is good, good colors.

Hez Daniel

I dont think that Sharapova can look not so lovely, she looks good from every angle :)
It's a great shot taken in action, good frozen moment, I miss a little the other player, but I assume she wasn't able to catch this ball.

Hi Daniel,

Well positioned action shot here, I don't mind we can't see her opposition, as this just further emphasizes the power behind her serve as she sends a 'winner' across into the open court. Very fitting since it came so close to the Aussie Open, as well as the advertisement on the backboard. The white court lines at these angles works for me too, nicely seen!

wow, lucky boy you are, daniel!
good capture - frozen moment is well captured for the composition where you managed to fit the star and her "bullet"...
best,
j.

Hi Daniel,
Fantastic capture with unbelievable clarity, good framing and nice light. The colors are very clear with excellent sharpness to this photo.
Great shot about this sport image. An excellent work, very well done.
Regards,
Josep

Hi Daniel,
Excellent action shot from the tennis match. Great timing to catch Sharapova just after she hit the ball, which can be seen on its way back to her opponent. Great light and colours too. Especially the pink advertising boards are eye-catching and a nice contrast to the field. Great work, thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Hi Daniel. Excellent timing and excellent point of view. Colors are great. Regards, Yvonne

Hi Daniel!
Good sports actionshot.Your POV is excellent and you had a good timing to catch her in this pose and position.There is a fantastic contrast between pink and the dark green.

I heard it on the news what a shame tennis fans screamed like maria to humiliate her. that s a shame.
at the same time I liked your photo. it is very colorful and you captured the play very well when the game is very rapidly going on the photo is very high quality.

Hi Daniel,
I see you were also at the game! A shame that we didn't get together and share our photo experiences.I also got in a few shots and I'll upload them later.You had a different angle to me as I was centercourt.....interesting to see in a different perspective.Lovely deep colours and great detail.....take care.
Regards, David

It's a funny picture :)
I like the compo: the player is almost parallel to the sides of the court and the flying ball is a good object to round up the compo.
