Perhaps I shouldn't Teresa but I am laughing! Now that's truly creative, using freezer burn for snow. Love it! #10475606

Fantastic! I love that big chunk. Very cool. (sorry) #10475692

I don't have extension tubes so this looks plenty close to me. You did great on the large crystal. I'm presuming this is pretty much your "full frame" image. If so, you are plenty close enough to crop to the area of the large crystals.

I agree this is pretty fantastic especially because you used freezer burn. you should have title it "freezer burn upclose" great job.

do you have viveza, a little structure really enhance the crystals. or high pass #10476150

Teresa H. Hunt December 23, 2012

No Stephen I had to do a pretty good crop to make the crystal more prominent in the frame.

Rita, I do not have viveza :( #10476204

That is very creative! I would be glad to send you some extra snow we have laying around here! Looks like you did a fine job! #10476340

My family and I are headed up into the mountains tomorrow for Christmas. I'm really hoping there is snow. :) #10476580
