Kate Powick, New Zealand Rocks (ANIMAL & NATURE 2025)

Taken near Haast in New Zealand's South Island. The scenery here (and almost everywhere) was stunning, but it also paid to look closely at the details too, such as the rocks along the water's edge. I was mesmerised for hours by the colours, textures and patterns.
