Editing Wimbledon

After my first Wimbledon experience came the editing. I managed a conservative 550 ish images of which i liked most of them, lol, each one having its own plus points. But the cull had to be done, and in the end i cut it down to 98.

But how do you make many similar images look different so not to bore people into not looking at them all. So i tried a bit of black and white, a bit of sepia, a bit of muted colour, a bit of toning and even a bit of grain. But after all that effort my image of Maria Sharapova seems to be the peoples favourite, not sure why?
