Truely outstanding gallery Danny! The captures are superb! Excellent composition and timing! Action photography at its best! Thanks for sharing! V++

Your shotz of Mari are unmatched, hopefully she's gonna be smart enough to get out off tennis, V

I just reprocessed all the ISO 3200 shots. I used Noise Ninja 2 to minimize the noise.

What happened was the first time I used Noise Ninja 2 I overdid the noise reduction...I wasn't satisfied with the results. So I posted all the ISO 3200 shots without noise reduction. But then I thought about it and reprocessed the shots. This time I used much lower levels of noise reduction...and I am very much pleased with the results. I guess this software takes some getting used to.

What helped me was Rob Galbraith's column about Noise Ninja 2. If you're reading this Rob...I say thank you very much!

Quality action shots of poetry in motion, Danny. Surprised she's wearing the same dress as these were taken over a few days (must be ready for wash ;)BV
Inal 01-Sep-2009 23:01
Danny, you did such an amazing job here that you should have sent her the copies and ask her to pose for you in private :) I think she would say yes on the spot! "V"

Superb work on getting the emotion as well as the action in this thoroughbred of an athlete that is Maria Sharapova.
Big fat vote!

07 - 34 Maria Sharapova vs Victoria Azarenka
35 - 67 Maria Sharapova vs Alona Bondarenko
68 - 95 Maria Sharapova vs Urszula Radwanska
96 - 129 Maria Sharapova vs Flavia Pennetta

Great series of shots of this magnificent athlete. My fav's were 26 & 52. The best light you had to shoot with appears to be from 85 to 103. That would have been a good time to pull tighter.
Pedro Libório 18-Aug-2009 21:07
absolutly wonderful collection Danny,
and I do understand your option for her, she is a stunning powerful woman.
my vote.
Danny Tuason 18-Aug-2009 20:05

Well timed and framed action shots...terrific work!
Jim & Josefina 15-Aug-2009 17:53
Fantastic action shots! Good job Danny! V!... Josefina
Joel Escala 15-Aug-2009 07:58
Great action shots Danny. You've also captured the intensity and emotions! VVV
Dick Lowthian 13-Aug-2009 13:16
Wonderful action shots, Danny. I'll bet capturing that serve of Maria's took some practice before you could get the ball in the frame. :-) Well done!
Michel Gagnon 12-Aug-2009 20:00
I can just feel and hear her grunts when looking at your pictures. They remind me of pictures I took of Gabriella Sabatini at the Canadian Open in the early '90s.
Ted Aanensen 12-Aug-2009 03:17
great job Danny, she is beautiful and so strong, maybe she'll model for you (and us) when she retires!
super!!!
Monique Trempe 11-Aug-2009 21:00
Magnific pictures, I hear its shouts.
Danny Tuason 11-Aug-2009 15:08
The main reason I wanted to shoot women's tennis was Maria Sharapova. I guess I am a big fan of Maria. She is an excellent tennis player (IMHO one of the best)...and she's so much fun to watch.

Too bad she lost to Flavia Pennetta in the semis.

Here are my best shots of Maria Sharapova.

All comments are welcome!

Danny :)
