From earlier in the week. Preferred this shot to some others taken with a greater depth of field but it seems to lose some detail in shrinking it for posting. Unfortunately the sun and morning drizzle were destroying the frost in front of my eyes and a breeze picked up that didn't help things!

Hi Magnus, very nice job. Like a sculpture. Could be worth a try of stacking.
But still a good shot. Nature is unbeatable in creating beautiful designs.

Magnus,
An unusual but effective composition. Pity there was no catchlight on the frost crystals but a nice shot anyway. Cliff

Hi Magnus,
Sounds like you had a race against time! Cool shot! No pun intended! Great frosty image!

Theres an endless supply of things to photograph and you find one different.
Nice one Magnus.

Well spotted - often spolit for choice when it'ts really frosty but the pressure builds when it starts to melt.

Many thanks for the comments everyone, always appreciated
Bertl: I might get brave enough for a stacking attempt sometime but the breeze movement ruled it out here
