Photographer's Statement:

This photo it reminds me of my best friend. She is an amazing person. This photo shows that one flower is sticking out from the rest of them. My best friend, Emma, is the best person I have ever met. She is amazing, and I don’t know what I would do without her. She always shows me the positives of things that are negative. She keeps me going when things are hard. She is so pretty and she is just amazing. Emma makes me a better person and the world a better place, like this flower.
