Colorful Happiness

Honorable Mention

Photographer's Statement:

You can just tell how happy he is being in nature…it’s not just his mouth, but the expression and the happiness noted in his eyes and body position say it all.  He is framed by beautiful trees, a river and a colorful rainbow, which all reflect happiness right back at him.
