I chose this for photographers choice #1, because this is my favorite photo that I took all year. I like it because, the salamander is very bright, and stands out and because the branch he/ she is standing on is very focused. No alterations

I chose this as my photographers choice, because I took this at the beginning of the semester when I had no idea what I was doing, but the picture still turned out really cool since it is extremely focused on the center but everything else is blurry and it almost looks like bokeh. No alterations
