Shortlist Warm-up

Landscapes Shortlist

I choose this picture because it has a magical feel to it. Just by looking at the picture, it look like you're viewing a village from a tall building. Everything look so magical due to the lighting that it got capture.

Travel Shortlist

From the way this picture was taken, the photo look as if it was drawn like a cartoon. Unique colors and view of a famous Time Square.

Fashion Shortlist

The girl in the photo have a nice sense of clothes also, with the horse in the background, it seems like there is a story behind this picture. Something like a runaway maybe?

Family & Friendship Shortlist

The photographer of this picture capture the "friendship" moment of all the kids. You can tell that they're all trying hard to win the game. The bright color of the photo makes everything innocent just like the kids.

Portraits Shortlist

The water in the picture was taken beautifully, the motion of the water touches the person and the smile of the subject was capture right at the monent.

Documentary Shortlist

When looking at this picture, there can be many different meanning behind it. In my opinion, the photographer have taken a artistic picture. The ciggarette is viewable along with the smoke and the boy had his eyes closed to show that he's confident in taking the hit.

Gardens & Plants Shortlist

When I first saw this picture, I thought it was a drawing instead of a photo. The photographer capture the plant so well, I had a feeling that I was standing in the picture. It's very magical due to the bright color lighting.

Wildlife Shortlist

This photo is very interesting due to the angle that it was taken. The monkey seem like he's paying respect to the statue because he's looking up to it. It's like the statues is his God that he's praying to.

Creative License Shortlist

The man in the picture walking into the green light is very mystical. The building around it are very mysterious and dark due to the lighting. The photographer seem to taken an advantage of the lighting and gives it a magical yet mystery feel to the photo.

 Action & Movement Shortlist

The photographer of this picture was able to capture the struggling faces of the bulls and the movement of the water. This picture also have a perfect lighting where you can see in the corners that the light was shinning down.
