The first picture I chose comes from the aerial category. Initially looking at the categories the images that come to mind are ones shot out of an airplane, or more recently, from a drone. This one was different and made me realize that shooting from a high place to something beneath the camera is also an aerial shot.

This picture is from the nature category. I picked it because at first I didn't even think it looked like a photograph, but more like a painting. It was almost as if I could touch it and feel all the different textures. I also loved the flow to the water, that shows movement.

http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.asp?photoID=494840&catID= This picture I chose for the medical category. While I find accidents/responders and the emotion on the faces of people surrounding a scene, or those working hard to assist those in trouble compelling, I chose this one because it was creative, and the close up really enhances the message it is trying to get across. The lighting was cool too.
Fashion: http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.asp?photoID=1620113&catID=
I love this picture because so many fashion photos are what you'd see in magazines, totally photoshopped and staged (not that this one might not be either! :)). I liked this one because the model wasn't 'trying too hard' and appears disinterested, and I love that it was a very muted palate (black and white).
Landscape pictures are so beautiful, but I especially loved this one as it has mystery, great lighting, and I like where the skyline is in the picture (not in the middle). It also looks like a place I'd like to travel to someday. http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.asp?photoID=13340532&cn=Winter-Scene-Pictures-and-Nature-Winter-Pictures&catID=450&rowNumber=11&sortBye=New&contestCatID=&camID=&mem4gall=0&favMemID=&Favpt=
Portraiture- I loved the picture of this little guy! You could make up so many different stories as to what he's thinking or feeling, and they'd all fit. I like that the background is blurry, but he is perfectly in focus so your eye stays on him. His one foot off the ground is adorable too. http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.asp?photoID=13510348&cn=Children-Photo-Gallery-Children-Pictures&catID=109&rowNumber=8&sortBye=New&contestCatID=&camID=&mem4gall=0&favMemID=&Favpt=
Wedding- So many wedding pictures are so 'posey-posey' and you see the same set up over and over. Why I chose this one, is because it's fun and although weddings are beautiful, and serious, and life changing doesn't mean they have to be stuffy. This one made me smile even though it feels tilted and the little middle flower girl doesn't look impressed.lol. http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.asp?photoID=13256355&cn=Great-Wedding-Photographs&catID=106&rowNumber=35&sortBye=New&contestCatID=&camID=&mem4gall=0&favMemID=&Favpt=
Automotive- I love this old truck. I chose this image because it looks like something I might find on my uncle's farm, so it made me think of family and fun times hanging out on the farm. I also love the image http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.asp?photoID=13123033&cn=Car-Photography&catID=249&rowNumber=8&sortBye=New&contestCatID=&camID=&mem4gall=0&favMemID=&Favpt= because it almost doesn't look real. The colors are so vibrant yet the truck and building are just plain. Oh the stories this truck could tell, I'm sure!
This image stirs up emotion for me, and makes me think of all the people that would be affected by a disaster such as fire. This just screams dread and sadness to me. http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.asp?photoID=13267165&cn=Picture-of-a-Fireman-911-Pictures-Emergency-etc&catID=331&rowNumber=8&sortBye=New&contestCatID=&camID=&mem4gall=0&favMemID=&Favpt=
Finally, the image I chose for product demo is a picture that doesn't even show the whole product. That's one of the things I love about this image, along with the bright colors and promise of adventure. The uneven dirt under the tires adds to the feel of the photo, and makes me want to jump on and take one for a rip! http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.asp?photoID=10120878&cn=Motorsports-Motocross-Pictures-Motorbike-Pictures&catID=144&rowNumber=3&sortBye=New&contestCatID=&camID=&mem4gall=0&favMemID=&Favpt=
