This made me laugh. I have to say tho that I was also amused by the kid in the background. Great capture. Congrats on the top 10!

And I've never understood wearing those little itty bitty bikinis to play volleyball in the first place, other than it does indeed sell. :-) Great shot!

What a lot of folks don't realize is that women vb players that wear two piece suits always do this after every point. It's pretty routine! It is a pretty good candid and should be in the top-10.

this shot had it for me in both the interesting and candid stakes. The piture itself regarding composisition etc doesn't necessarily blow me away but its solid and was the best fit I thought for the challenge. Good luck.

If she knows you posted this image, I assume your camera may be in a similar location. Great candid shot, excellent framing and focus and the B&W was a good choice.
