Hello Brendan,
Very nice photo, it really caught my eye!
Amazing mixture of emotions in a good composition and a pleasant black and white.

Hi Brendan!
Great shot! As you wrote gret mix of emotions! You did well in framing this guy who probably won with other people and the whole thing without cutting a face!
Well done!

The tones are perhaps (I say perhaps because of the light conditions I am viewing this in) a little flat here Brendan but nothing that can't be fixed - all the rest is there - the one exuberant fan sticking out from the crowd tells such a story - perhaps he backed the outsider or maybe he is just naturally excitable!
A fine catch which I think maybe just needs a little more lightroom work.....minor tweaking. The contrast seesm so much stronger in the middle - is this something you deliberately achieved?

Oh wow... The expressions of suspense. The fear of losing thousands, or the thrill of gaining millions. We all see who the winner is here.
B&W is great. Did you just get up from your seat, turn around and shoot?? So nice.
Good one!

As I said on flickr Brendan, this is one heck of a series. My favorite is the one with the no flash photography allowed sign:) Here I would only say it needs a bit more contrast. The way you fished that guy out of the crowd is great.
Are you planning to buy the 5D? Im in a dilemma over what lns to buy for the 5D which I plan to get this year. 24-70 or the 17-40. My dilemma stems from the fact that I wont probably buy the lens and camera at the same time. I want the 24-70 but my fear is that Ill totally lose the wide angle if I put it on my 20D. The 17-40 would be great for my 5D and Id get a nice wide angle on the 5D which would be a cool challenge. My question is if the 34mm end is wide enough on the 30D for you.

Timing, timin is everything, and you've got hat down, mate. The makings of a serious SPorts pro shooter I kid you not. Here we have the scene in the Hitchcock movie "strangers on a train" at the tennis match.
Well seen, bravo!

The faces expressions really show the emotion of them. I like the DOF here with variations of focous.
Well done

Hi Brendan,
Interesting image, this is a simple and daily scene but with a great expressive force, each face am a different life and feelings, I like since you have centered the focus on the man of the center, good control of the light and an excellent idea to use in B&W. TFS
Regards
