Water, as we all know, can take many forms; gas, liquid and solid, depending on the temperature.  In photography this element takes on many of the same characteristics, depending on the shutter speed used.  The slower the shutter the more frothy its appearance and in converse the faster the shutter speed the more solid it appears.

This photographer has elected to use the slower shutter in order to create the feeling of a mist of falling water.  What I particularly like about this image is the number of layers starting with the rushing rivulet in the near foreground back to the still water followed by a series of steps to the top of the frame.  An inexperienced photographer would probably focus in on the primary water fall and not given the viewer the detail in the foreground.

This photo-artist has narrowed the view to only the detail information required to tell the story of this waterway in the forest.  The inclusion of the logs in the stream implies the nature of this wild and natural waterway.
