Photographer's Statement:

This photo was taken in Pocatello, Idaho. I took this picture because it was the perfect time to get a good picture of the trees with the orange sky and the beautiful golden hour. I mainly loved how you could see the trees outline and how because of that the black look of the trees made them pop so you can see them really well and they  look very pretty. This photo was also super fun to take and I really love how it turned out, although I know it could be better, I still really like this photo.
