Trapped in a small just right
sphere of water, this inauspicious ant is unable to escape. A sudden downpour
gave it no time to take cover, and photographer Adam Gormley was there to depict
the image. Adam, from Noosaville, Queensland, Australia, had been photographing
spiders in his neighbor’s garden when the rain came down. He had no thought
there was an ant in one of the three millimeter droplets until he watched the
images later. Adam said: I was thinking it some dirt inside the drop, and it
was not my main focal point, I really liked the way the drop was sitting on the
aloe-vera leaf, with the tiny hairs. When I uploaded the image to my PC with
large view, and I think I shouted out loud in pleasure when I realized what I'd
captured by accident!
