Photographer of the Year 2009: World in Motion 1 of 4

Editor's Choice Shortlist

What the judges were looking for
The judges will be looking for images that capture the moment and have a sense of drama. That doesn't mean having to freeze action with a fast shutter speed - impressionistic pans or a combination of slow shutter speed and fill-in flash can also deliver a powerful sense of movement. A sporting event? Animal behaviour? Commuters on their daily route? There are no restrictions on what you can photograph.
