Description
Definitely, this snowflake is one of my all-time favorites. This is big stellar dendrite snow crystal, around 5 millimeters from tip to tip, slightly melted and partially covered with tiny droplets of rime. It looks quite unusual, with it's massive tree-like branches and hexagonal center, divided by six sectors. This crystal remind me tiny planet of The Little Prince, which is teared apart by roots of six overgrown baobabs.
I was lucky with lighting of this crystal, and even frozen bubbles of rime (usually i do not like them), looks not too bad on these "baobab branches".
This rare crystal was captured December 2014 on large sheet of glass with LED back light, using additional lens Helios 44. 11 identical RAW photos, taken as fast series, was averaged to boost signal/noise ratio of resulting picture.
Also, i processed this snowflake in different colors and vectorized it (variant on uniform background) to be able to stretch it to any size without loss in quality.
Closeup snowflake pictures are available for home decor, interior design and gifts as: stretched canvas prints, metal, acrylic, wood and framed prints, art prints on acid-free paper, posters, greeting cards and spiral notebooks, phone cases for Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy, portable battery chargers, throw pillows, duvet covers and fleece blankets, shower curtains, wall tapestries, bath and hand towels, coffee mugs, weekender tote bags, yoga mats, face masks, vynil stickers, carry-all pouches, round beach towels and beach sheets, tank tops, men's and women's slim fit, v-neck, long sleeve, baseball and junior t-shirts.
My collection contains hundreds macro photos of real snowflakes, and constantly grows. You'll find all these crystals on main page.
