This photo shows a smaller waterfall subtly cascading down a moss-covered rock face. The water, sliding over the smooth stones, collects in a quiet pool at the foot of the waterfall. The surroundings are densely covered with vegetation, giving a rich texture and a sense of untouched nature.
The atmosphere in the picture is intimate and soothing, as if you have discovered a hidden place not yet entered by many. The artistic quality lies in the subtle details of the moss and stones, combined with the gentle, silky flow of the water that creates a sense of timelessness.
In this picture, the waterfall plays the main role. The vertical lines of the waterfall contrast with the horizontal layers of moss and stone, creating an interesting dynamic. Balance in the composition is achieved by placing the waterfall in the centre, surrounded by symmetrically distributed vegetation and rocks.
When taking this picture, I chose a slightly lower perspective, just below eye level, to give the viewer the feeling of being directly in front of the waterfall. The framing was deliberately chosen to keep the focus on the waterfall, while the surrounding nature complements the scene without distracting. The choice of a slower shutter speed was essential to soften the movement of the water, which creates a dreamy effect and contrasts with the rough textures of the rocks.
