I was out practicing my serve on a beautiful fall day in 2005 at a local tennis court when the sun got very low in the sky and cast these amazing shadows over everything. I grabbed my trusty Olympus Stylus Verve out of the car and composed this shot. I had totally forgoten about the picture until today when I ran across it and thought it looked pretty cool. I brought it into Photoshop and juiced up the colours a bit and overlaid a slightly blurred version of itself to give a more ethereal feel to the image. As a result, the scuffed up red court takes on an almost velvet like quality. I hope you like it - let me know what you think!
