James Fulton, Perfection realised (PLACES WILDERNESS 2025)

It as my third visit to this spot and you need the right amount of water, right light and the right clothing to brave the freezing cold water. This is a panorama which took a few tries due to the water moving the tripod. I have wanted to capture a photo like this for a long time. The green mossy cave, the turquoise water, the light, the waterfall the rocks. It all came together. Taken in the West Coast in New Zealand.
