ice crystal by Manuel Wieczorek

ice crystal Well. It was a hard decision if I should upload this or not. / I don’t get those little crystals like I want them to. I don’t know what I should think about. What do you think? Do you have any hint how I could capture them better? The picture is a HDRi out of 3 pics (so I see more of the structure). I edited the levels and sharpened it in PS.

The Macro Group is a moderated group. Please submit for approval only your best macro images. Two posts per 24 hour period. If more than two posts are uploaded to the macro group, they will be deleted. The Macro Gallery will be constantly refreshed as a 50 page limit. The oldest page when reaching 51 is removed to allow for new work. You may re-post images that have been removed due to retirement. The parameters for macro photos should be a minimum ratio of 1:1 with no maximum. 1:1 is life size. 2:1 is twice life size. 1:2 is half life size. Please refer to these links for more info on Just what is 1:1 and Macro. More info

Microphotography is welcome. There are Group Forums available to post messages.
