Life in a Rainforest Water Droplet · **1 Like**

I took this in the rainforest, in the Wild Rivers World Heritage National Park on the West Coast of Tasmania. When I looked at the image on my computer I was surprised to see a minature ecosystem in the water droplet that is repeatedly refreshed by the constant rainfall.

Great image. What sort of processing did you do?

Oh my goodness, this is the coolest image I have seen! I love capturing the reflections in droplets, but never have I seen an ecosystem like this!! Just incredible.

Thanks! Not much processing, just crop and slight adjustment with levels and auto contrast, all in CS5.
