Let the Light In

Honorable Mention

Photographer's Statement:

This picture was an accident. I put my phone under a tree for an “under shot” and the sunlight was at just the right angle. This goes to show that sometimes we are too careful with what we do. Sometimes we need to loosen up and let the light in.
