Description
Cascata delle Marmore (The biggest falls in Italy), Terni, Umbria, Italia
----
In this shot only a little part of the whole fall;
----
The Marmore Falls, extolled during the centuries for its beauty, appears like a roaming water column distributed on three drops. Wrapping the flora in a cloud of white foam , cover a different in high of 165 metres. The scenery disclosed to the visitors eyes is the work of men made since centuries, from the Roman period, tried to canalize the waters of the Velino river to fall the into the Nera river.
Its history began in 271BC when the Roman consul Curio Dentato made a reclaimed work in the plain of Rieti realizing a canal of beyond two kilometers up the cliff of Marmore.
In archaeology, instead of, the traces left by the ancient people on the territory is testified by the several finds brought to the light during the years.
Affirmed during the centuries like one of the greatest phanomena of nature, the Marmore Falls had the role of protagonist also in arts and literature, becoming the destination of intellectuals who, along the routes of the Grand Tour, reached Italy to overtake studies of the classicality.
During the last twenty years of the XIX century became the instrument of the water system regulation, used by energetic reasons for the rising industry. The using of water for industrial reasons, prevailed on the tourist and naturalistic connotations.
Today the Park of Marmore welcome the visitor leading through different excursion trails, to discover rocks and caves that characterized the geology.
And the vegetation, with its species worthy of value, catch the attention to people who want to venture in the excursion area, the real heart of the Falls.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactI have to admit that my first thoughts upon seeing this artwork were, "what a beautiful digital painting." only to find that it is in fact a photograph. Here, the artist has used long exposure tastefully and skilfully to accentuate the natural beauty of the waterfall.
What I really enjoy about this artwork is the way the silky white of the waterfall exists both as a something surreal and fantastical, as well as something real and natural. The artwork is also an exploration of time. I find myself asking: is this what the world looks like if we were able to see all time in one instance?
The photo is well composed. The waterfall, as the focus of the artwork, is framed by greenery that adds to the atmosphere of the scene. While the tight framing give the viewer plenty of room for imaginative extension. What might be in the distance, or just around the river bend?
The moss at the bottom of the frame seems to invite the viewer into the scene, to become lost in this semi-fantastical world. While the darkness on the left side creates mystery and intrigue. The little tree on the left, shrouded in mist acts as a secondary point of focus creating balance in a photo where the centre peace could easily dominate and overthrow the harmony of the artwork.
I would also just like to add one more cursory note: it was nice to see the artist communicating some of the history of the subject matter. It reminds me shamefully how often as tourist we consume the natural and built wonders of the world without really wondering about the rich history and culture of what we greedily feed on with our eyes and camera.
This artist clearly has a good eye and deep appreciation for the aesthetics of nature and back this up with good composition and technique. I have really enjoyed looking into this artwork and I encourage the artist to continue with their good work.
