I spent most of the day trying to capture a sharp image of a snowflake. The hardest part was being patient. Using a reverse lens is not the easiest way to do macro photography and not having the ability for lighting. So in one hand I had a head lamp and in the other the camera on a tripod. I was getting ready to sit on a bucket and the light from the headlamp caught a single flake and lit it up. Quickly I kept my eye on the flake and started clicking. I was overwhelmed that I had actually gotten an awesome picture like this without having to pay for an expensive lens.

Just cropped and sharpened. That's it.
