Light Through the Shadows

Honorable Mention

Photographer's Statement:

Many people believe that trees represent happiness, but I believe they can also represent the shadows and darkness. In my photo I show a light shining through the darkness that is the trees. For some, that light could represent someone in their lives; for me, it represents my friends and my love for the outdoors.
