Waterfall backgrounds

12 original designs, 11 free — click any one to put your own photo on it.

A waterfall gives a composition a natural centre line and a strong sense of vertical movement. Rock walls frame the falling water, soft mist separates the planes, and reflected highlights at the base help the scene feel wet rather than like a flat white stripe.
