When the conditions are right, snowflake-like crystals grow on meadow grass.

Neat shot - although I am happy we have some warmth and sunshine today!

All the best

The rough symmetry of the shot coupled with the detail really makes this work. Nice stack!

Everything about this is wonderful. The sharpness, background, subject, colors. Well done!

Wow! I've never noticed or realized that frost on grass could look like this. Really beautiful! You composed it really well, as well, with the strong diagonal of the blade of grass. Nicely done.
