He's not giving up

And actually, we're OK with that.
Associated Press photographer Bernat Armangue is convinced he'll get the perfect overhead shot of Maria Sharapova before she falls by the wayside in this week's WTA Championships in Madrid. Wednesday, we showed his first-day efforts, which weren't bad. Friday, this was the collection he sent to his editors, who in turn posted them for use by all AP subscribers. We can imagine some of them actually weren't used because they caught a body part of two that wasn't fit for publication. But we can also imagine they'll eventually show up somewhere on the internet.
And we can also imagine the guy sees visions of purple when he goes to bed at night.
For now, enjoy these angles Mr. Armangue has managed to slip past the censors:

Serve it up ...

Did he shoot this one by mistake?

Nice serve... we think ...

A leg to stand on is worth shooting this?

Dramatic? Yes, and plenty of room for autographs.

For contrast, he also took this one of Justine Henin-Hardenne. Not the same effect, eh?

Neither is this of Amilie Whatshername... as if it matters.
