2012.

 I chose this photo as one of my favorites because basically this whole photo is just so appealing. The fighter jets behind a barricade of fire; AMAZING. I think this photo is just really cool and the coloring is perfect and its really clear.

 I thought this photo was just the cutest! It really focuses on the size difference between the hand watch and the sea horse. The photographer really did a good job on making it very clear on what the subject and point of this photo was. Its just too cute as well, which makes it that much better.

This photo is my absolute favorite! The photographer caught it PERFECTLY when the moon and sun crossed each other. It was also a really big deal for 2012, so its my favorite. The photo looks really pretty and has a relaxing appeal to it as well.
