I've been trying for several weeks to get some good macro shots of snowflakes. This is one of my better ones so far, shot right after a dusting of fresh fluffy snow. Shot in macro mode with my three closeup filters (+1, +2, &+4) stacked on each other, and still given a pretty good cropping during post processing.

Hey, I tried do do this two weeks a go and failed miserably. Congratulations on this technical achievement. I'll be interested to see how you did this. 8.
I always keep coming back to this one. I gave you a 10. Who wouldn't? It's stunning and incredibly delicate not to mention probably hard to photograph.
Incredible. I feel like it's going to melt if I breathe too hard! Well composed, and a good use of the border. One of my favorites from this very large pool of pictures!
7 - Oh. Difficult capture. Criticism; having seen how hard these are to do, but the potential in these types of shots (camera/lens dependent of course), have to say I would like to see this even sharper, but you've likely done very well with what you were able to do. Not sure on the frame, think it detracts from the delicacy. The foreground 'shallow DOF' is good, but perhaps a variation may have helped enhance the snowflake, but again, depends what you had to work with and I presume this is cropped as tight as you could without starting to lose quality. Perhaps a rotate, not sure. edit:typo
I really like the way the shallow DOF has allowed the foreground and background to blur into a yin yang and into this is thrust the beauty of the snowflake detail. Perfect composition . 10!
