You should choose your best, most diverse shots. Make sure they are not of flowers or your dog, too. ;)

When I submitted, I picked three completely different types of shots (no flowers, cats, or dogs).  One was an isolation on white.  Seemed to work for me.  Good luck!

I chose an object isolation on white, a landscape and a still life. I believe that you should show some diversity and understanding of what is marketable in the choice of subject matter.

After many tries I recently got admitted at IS one thing I made different to the previous attempts was to write into the comment field WHY and HOW I had taken that particular shoot. Hope that helps, SY

Oops it is you! Hi, Judy, just send you an email ;-) SY

I used photos of fireworks, a cow, and a bumble bee landing on a flower. If you submit three of the same thing then they'll have you resubmit something else. Make sure they are well exposed, tack-sharp, and free from noise.
