The photographer captured the waterfall from the top of the cliff on the left side. A few meters from where the photograph was taken, a man is sitting with his legs stretched out on the edge of the cliff. He is watching the waterfall and its rapid current. The photographer has made a long exposure, the river water flows from the top of the waterfall in a large white stream.
