Particularly like the Sharapova one, were you accredited? Or were these from the stands?

I had credentials, but these were both from the front row box seats. I like being out of the fray.

Superdiver and Roy Webber-thanks for the comments. As we are all aware, Maria is very recognizable and photogenic, so she gets a lot of print.

What settings did you use. I was shooting courtside (on the little bench) and while I did get some good shots, none were as frozen as the Sharapova pic.
