Oh Aiki! What do you expect one to say?
An astonishing photograph. Attributable to latitude, wind direction and an excellent eye for a picture. Interestingly, this morning I fished my MarkI 18-55 out from the depths of my camera bag and dragged it round some derelict factories (probably illegally.) I have been most pleased with the results!
Super shot in every respect!
Regards,
Andrew

It's beautiful.
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.
Apparently.

I like the blue surface and the shapes. I was totally surprised that I got such a pic with the kit lens ....but I wish I had a macro one.
Do not be afraid bringing out the minuses of the pic !
cant be, that there isnt any
It is just my way to control my own thoughts....

what is the lovely blue surface ?
I feel that I could just stretch out my hand and touch those crystals - they are sort of floating in mid-air .
Wonderful

Aiki, macro lenses are incredibly expensive, particularly for something that may get only occasional use. Why not buy some manual extension tubes off e-bay? I have a set and they work fine. I know they're not that convenient but we're talking a few pounds rather than hundreds (there's still a recession on, despite what the Labour Government says.)....but I wish I had a macro one.
...
Here's a (not very inspiring) example:

I know, Andrew
But macro lenses can be used for sth else but macro too
I have used Sigma 70-300 macro a lot (1:2) and like it.
techno,
The blue is a traffic-sign
+ crop + rotate
Does it really not annoy anybody, that the flakes are not pin sharp ?

Very impressive Aiki. I'm amazed you can get frost crystals like that with a kit lens.

Not really, its an abstract, if everything was pin sharp the detail of the leaves would (IMHO) distract from the pattern.Does it really not annoy anybody, that the flakes are not pin sharp
A suggestion Aiki:
Copy the image and flip it to the right, then copy both and flip to the bottom
