My Best Portrait


Year in Review: 2013

 Best Photos:
I really like this picture and think it was one of the best pictures of 2013 because its unique and it shows a lot of meaning to it. This is a really good quality photo its clear and shows details. The photo doesn't have much to it but at the same time it does.

I really think this is another best photograph of 2013 because it shows a religion style and what they wear. Its a really clear picture and shows all things in details. It has simple colors and doesn't have much to show it just focuses on the main things they are trying to show.

I really like this picture and think its the best picture of 2013 because its a little girl is holding the flag during her fathers burial service. Its just an amazing picture it has so much emotion to it. This picture is also so professional because its so clear and focused.

Part 2:
Your Favorite:

The best song of 2013 in my opinion was demons by imagine dragon. I chose this as my main choice because had so much connection with this song. I got attracted to this song because of the beat and the lyrics. It was the best of 2013 because it was a big hit but i listened to it before it came on the radio.


The best movie of 2013 in my opinion was Safe Haven. I chose this as my main choice because I was such a loving movie and romantic but yet sad. I got attracted to this movie because of all the emotions and what the story behind it is. It was the best of 2013 because it was one of the movies that got a lot of high rates and a lot of people went to watch.

Cleveland's kidnapping  was the most important news story of 2013 in my opinion because missing girls were found and they saved their lives by coming out and before they died. I chose this as my choice because it was such powerful and popular story in the news. I got attracted to this story because these 3 girls were kidnapped for about 15 year and they went through so much. It was the best of 2013 cause he was put in jail and way from everybody so he wouldn't do anymore harm. But a couple of months later he committed suicide in jail by hanging him self



The best person of 2013 was Adam Levine in my opinion. I chose this as my main choice because he was a very successful man in the year of 2013. I was attracted to him because he's done a lot this year and has become very famous.
