Crystals

Another one of my most inventive photo titles.... I just suck at that, haha. These are some of those really nice crystals that you only find occasionally. A focus stack of thirteen photos, which wasn't that easy since the stacking software didn't really like all the very contrasty edges in the crystals.

1/200, f/14, ISO 100, 100 mm macro lens.

C&C welcome, large version included!

Roel, this collection of crystals is astonishing. I understand the stacking challenge completely. You've done a great job on the stack and the fine details in these crystals are amazing. The background sets them off nicely as well.

Those are some wicked cool crystals, Roel, on a good background. I could see desaturating the yellow a bit on the right side BG but that is straining to find a nit on this. Thanks for sharing.

This is really cool (pun intended). They look almost like gypsum crystals - a great find, wonderfully captured!!!

Hi Roel

Exceptionally good detail on these ice crystals

the fine colors and BG make this a very fine presentation.
