Winter Shine

This lovely photograph just shove my longing for warm sunlight back in the closet. A beautiful, cold, white winter is what it whispers.
The well captured details, with just the right amount of soft and out of focus snowflakes, are a precise work which deserves 5 stars for technique. The "main" snowflake represents the exact vision I have of winter - cold, hard, shiny, bright, but kind of fragile at the same time. Somehow it looks like a small winter perfection, that melts in the blink of an eye, but is captured for eternal times within this photograph.
I do not find any imperfection here, but I can't give full five stars for originality, since the same theme has been done a lot. Despite this fact, this piece sure stands out and deserves the praise and glory.
