Wow! This is fantastic. Great detail...this wouldn't have been easy. I am just getting into macro myself and find getting depth of field and sharpness incredibly tricky when shooting at very close proximity to subject.
Well done, you should be very proud of yourself.
Regards, Grace.

Hello,
Well it wasn't easy at all. Something like -15 degrees outside, but this was ok, mu hands got numb and were very steady because of this. My kit lens were "mounted" backwards on the camera and I was holding it with my hand since I had no inversion ring back then. About 30 minutes of shooting and then gathered the results.
Long story short
Glad you like it and thanks for the big appreciations ! I'm very proud of it and hope someday will get a DD on this.
Thanks again and wish you all the best !
Regards,
Paul

Well, it took me about half an hour in a very cold environment:laugh:
I've used a red scarf and dragged it on the fresh snow then I've searched the perfect subject.
Mounted my 18-55mm lens backward on the body of the camera with a reversing ring and started to shoot.
Te hard part was the manual focus on the subject because with the lens backward you have no auto focus, so...
But I've done it after a lot of attempts.

Was there in 2007 or 2008 in Rodi Garganico. I just loved waking up in the morning and drinking coffee from my balcony with seaside view
And many great people there

I can't imagine how hard it must have been to get this shot! But it must be worth it! Seeing all the details of a snowflake captured forever is a real treat! Sometimes, you can see them fall on a piece of clothing and you can try to inspect them, but they melt too fast or they are blown away...snowflakes have such a fleeting existence.
Of all the countless myriads of snowflakes to come and go, this snowflake must be happy to be forever remembered <3

Well, it took me about half an hour in a very cold environment 
Indeed it was hard, keeping my hands hot, staying very steady and taking the shot fast enough before it melt. But as you said, it worth it.
By the way. I love how you ended the message. I think I'll quote it on the description of the photo if you don't mind
