French Tennis open final


One last stop at Roland Garros, the French tennis open. This past week-end the women and men finals took place: Belgium's Justine Henin-Hardenne won for the 3rd time and Rafael Nadal defended his crown over top-ranked Roger Federer. You might not be interested in tennis but it's just for the sake of showing this picture that I took inside of the stadium this time, unlike the previous one.

  1. en ouverture de court je dirais qu'il n'y a pas eu de surprise, l'espagne fut trés bien représenter aujourd'hui non seulement dans le tennis mais aussi dans la F1 bon pour les inconditionnels de Ferrari comme moi c'est embettant mais il reste la coupe du monde...

  5. Great shot. I'm not a huge tennis fan, but the "Grand Slams" always interest me. I am jealous that you were there. -Ryan

  6. There's something monumental about the lighting in this B&W.

  7. Are you inside or outside? Looks a bit 50's with the guy in the hat and the b&w. The two girls, however, look kind of dingy.

  12. Didn't realize that "tennis whites" referred to the spectators, too! This is a terrific shot, and it's brilliant of you to render it in B&W....

  13. It looks like tennis fans in France are much better dressed than their American counterparts. =)

    The B&W works really well in this picture. A+
