You've captured a lovely image there. I wonder if a slight rotation to make the line horizontal would improve the shot?

yeah notice the line, but in photoshop is kinda rotate, gonna use lightroom later to align it

Can't make out what shot he is playing.
Legs and arms look like he just played a jump smash. But the shuttle to me is in the wrong position and still dropping. How did you get right over the court to shoot down like this.
Nice shot well focused, but is it authentic?

well Khall u r wrong, that shot is just before the smash that shuttlecock, over in this stadium there is so sort of access to the rooftop where the laid all the cables for the lighting, so we climb up there to shoot down 90 degree

Yeah. Seen this type of picture before from the World Championships last year. It's definitely authentic.

It's a good shot of the leap in the jump smash before the arm moves. Eyes are on the shuttle.

I agree with the court line needing to be straightened out. But what do you mean about photoshop?

What lens did you shoot with? The 300mm?

It's easy in PS....

Select the Measure tool....anchor one point at one end of the baseline, anchor the end point at the other end of the baseline.

Select, Image, Rotate, Arbitraty and the values are already assigned by the Measure tool.
