Photographer's Statement:

To me, this photo embodies the category because this image is filled with bright colors that draw you in and really make you think about how healthy the vegetation is. When I look at this photo I feel safe. I feel as though I could walk for miles and not get tired. I could journey on without a map and not get lost. Not all wanders are lost and not all explorers know what they are looking for. When I head out to photograph and do know what will speak to me, but this pathway sure did. This photo makes a statement and is so quiet and vibrant at the same time.
