Yuen shared the story behind his photograph, “Power of Nature,” captured in China, explaining, “The primary objective of my trip was to photograph the iconic mountains of Guilin, known for its karst formations. On the day I took this photo, I woke up at 3 a.m. with plans to hike for the sunrise. However, a sudden thunderstorm emerged, so I decided to capture the storm instead.
