I like this photo because it was shot in Texas. Sports and competition in Texas is pretty much its own religion. This was not a traditional uniform for competitive girls sports a few years prior to this photo. Because of level the women are play at it warranted a more athletic uniform. This is not a very powerful image by photojournalism standards. How ever in a historical context it resembles women's athletic photos from the 20's.
I too like this shot however I wonder why It is in the projcet of Dramatic B&W Shadows? On the shot itself I like the framing with the ball in mid air, I would have worked also with the girl at the top of her serve as she is striking the ball. Good job! Later my friend,
