Shortlist Warm-up.

 Action and Movement Shortlist: I chose this photo because it expresses the genuine happiness of  the little girl as her dad swings her around.

 Creative License Shortlist: I chose this picture because it was super creative. I really liken the way the model was posing and the fact that it looks like its in 3D.

 Wildlife Shortlist: I liked this picture because it showed the tiger in his natural habit, trying to get his daily meal.

 Gardens and Plants Shortlist: I chose this one because it really told a story. The life cycle and how the flower went from young to matured to wilted to gone. 

 Documentary Shortlist: I liked this one a lot because it showed these kids' culture and them doing something they really really enjoyed.

 Portraits Shortlist: I chose this one because it showed the farmer with the thing that he spends most of his time on, the pigs. It really showed his personality.

 Family and Friendships Shortlist: I liked this one because it showed a very raw and intimate moment.

 Fashion Shortlist: I liked this one because of how elegant the model looked. I liked the way that her hair and make-up was done, along with her clothes. Then the rain-kissed umbrella just added a dramatic affect.

 Travel Shortlist: I chose this one because it showed a moment where a father and son were waiting for a loved run to return from her travels, which portrayed a very real moment.

Landscapes Shortlist: I chose this one because it captured a not so often moment as a violent storm crashed over the island.
