Reflected light from my porch light. To answer a previous question yes I do select my subjects individually with a dark paper, needle, and a steady hand.

Absolutely astounding, both the flakes themselves, and the beautiful light/color.

The yellow highlights make this completely different from the black background shots. Both are great but this is really special. Love it!

It is both simple and complex. The background and the highlights really make this a winner.

Fabulous shot! Have you described how you capture individual flakes or is that a trade secret?
