America’s Favorite Photos
Rekindling America’s Appreciation of Photography

Sunlit Wildings

My original goal for the image was to use the shrubs as foreground for the light in the back. I was focusing using autofocus and it just happened to focus on the shrubs instead. I then went home, after getting both of the images, and edited both. Now, I actually prefer this one over the photo I was trying to get. I guess you could call it a “happy accident.”
