Each week our chief photographer, Anita Ross-Marshall, picks her favourite shot from the archives. She writes:

There are some elements in nature that, when photographed, not only change but add an extra something to the image.

Water is one of those objects. In its normal state it is always liquid, but the very action of freezing its flow in the picture gives us a viewpoint never normally seen in life. 

It not only adds to the image, but becomes its focal point to explain the moment of the drama.
