EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, photographer Alex Hyde takes us on a journey to the enchanting rainforests of Danum Valley in Sabah, Borneo. Here, amidst the lush foliage and vibrant life, lies a hidden world teeming with intricate details. Zooming in on a decaying leaf from the rainforest floor, Hyde reveals nature's delicate dance of decomposition. The leaf becomes an exquisite canvas for lichens and moulds to flourish, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of colors and textures. It is as if these tiny organisms have transformed the leaf into their own miniature masterpiece. The close-up shot transports us into this microcosm where every inch tells a story. We witness the circle of life unfolding before our eyes - from birth to decay - reminding us that even in death, beauty can be found. Borneo Island has long been hailed as one of Asia's biodiversity hotspots, and this photograph encapsulates its natural wonders perfectly. It serves as a reminder that within every fallen leaf lies an entire ecosystem waiting to be explored. So let your imagination wander through this snapshot frozen in time; marvel at nature's resilience and creativity. Allow yourself to get lost in the intricate patterns painted by lichens and moulds upon this humble leaf – it’s like stepping into another world right beneath our feet!
