Macro Snowflakes

Hi,

I really like the first one and am looking for others feedback on it. I included two others that I think are just OK as well but neither really has a strong feeling for me as the 1st one does.

Macro you say? Got a scanning electron microscope also in the den?

Those shots are facinating for sure, Would love to know how you isolated and handled them.

As far as critique, yes, the first is almost 100% clear with good contrast as the 2nd has a lot less destinguishable flakes as they are overlapping or hidden by the blur of something else.

The last is bound for Nat Geo but may be cropped a little bit too large as it seems to have lost the crispness at that size. Maybe a third smaller would do it.

I really like the first one, since it almost appears like the snowflakes are falling.
