Window Crystals

Well captured and interesting ... thank you for sharing with the PN community

Dennis, a fascinating study, well seen and captured. Why is the bottom of the image so much softer than the top 2/3?

David, in answer to your question about sharpness vs lack of it... this was a very close macro shot against my window. Similar to the others in my gallery of the same subject, the ice crystals were not perfectly flat, so I couldn't get everything in proper focus, even with a very deep DOF.

I like the slight blur on these ice crystals and the color. Whenever I have been lucky to see similar crystal they are more monochrome and even too well delineated, whereas you add another dimension here that changes their character, making them something that only mildly hints at their more purely crystallographic origin. 

Arthur, thank you for your recent comments. What you say is always thoughtful and constructive.
