Great shots.  I really love the angle - how vertical were you above the players?  Like top of the seating area at an arena or higher?

Haha, cool pictures! Badminton is a great sport, I have practiced it for some years when I was a child and my grandfather was the president of the local regional federation.

It's nice you loved it.

Quite funny when you say the "Streeter Lecka" is his real name. Is that name so funny or strange?

Love the intensity this sport brings on, really incredible photos, there are so many other events going on besides the big well known gymnastics and swimming.  You and Vincent have really produced some great images.
