•  Support I want to nominate this one, but there is some posterizing, very good shot. Yours is better in quality, a bit to high compo, he could wait a ball to come lower. But still top photo. --Mile (talk) 07:09, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support. It's a very strange serve, he's almost kneeling down on the court, his knees are so low! The light is also very harsh and it could be a bit brighter, overall... But a good capture. Agree with Mile, it's a shame the ball wasn't a bit lower so that it could be cropped a bit. Diliff (talk) 07:53, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

•  Support Noisy and grainy in the background, but this is totally forgivable since it's a sports shot requiring a very short exposure and a wide aperture. And here the photographer got what he wanted: a solid image of a great pose from the server, the other player waiting to return, and what would otherwise be a total waste of space at the top crowned by the ball. A perfect example of exceptions to !rules. Daniel Case (talk) 16:51, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

•  Support I also wish the ball was lower, but I think the harsh light works here; contrast of blue and yellow colours adds to the composition. --Kadellar (talk) 11:32, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

•  Support Explosive. --Johann Jaritz (talk) Johann Jaritz 10:14, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Nice capture of the tension of the game (and the serve-to-come). The ball is high up, but that makes it even more interesting from the perspective of a sports spectator. --Pugilist (talk) 13:16, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
