This 16:9 black-and-white long-shutter composition captures a small, isolated section of the Krimml waterfall with a refined sense of movement and contrast. The slower shutter speed turns the flowing water into a smooth, silky ribbon gliding across the dark, rugged rock surface. The elongated widescreen format enhances the fluid motion of the scene and emphasises the horizontal movement of hues and textures.
Deep shadows carve texture into the stone, while subtle highlights shimmer in the crashing water, creating a minimalist but powerful visual rhythm. By focusing exclusively on this one fragment of the waterfall, the wider landscape disappears, leaving only the abstract interplay of movement, texture and light - a calm, atmospheric portrait of one of Austria's most iconic waterfalls.
With a total height of 380 metres, the Krimmler Wasserfälle is the highest tiered waterfall in Europe. The waterfall is located near the village of Krimml in Austria in the Hohe Tauern National Park.
