Close-up view of an alien world's diverse ecosystem. Foreground: shallow, geothermal pools with psychedelic colors and intricate, fractal patterns. Mid-ground: fields of tall, undulating grass-like structures that change color in waves. Background: misty, floating mountains with inverted waterfalls. Sky: multi-layered clouds in shades of pink, lavender, and turquoise. Alien flora with bioluminescent tendrils and fauna with iridescent exoskeletons populate the scene. Photorealistic rendering, dramatic lighting, depth of field effect.
