During a heavy snowstorm, snow piled up on a windowsill. The snow started melting against the glass forming an abstract collection of water droplets and crystalline structures. The snowflakes in the background appear grey because they are lit from behind. On the bottom of the frame, the snow is darkest as it was the most dense there. The snow becomes lighter grey and even white in places as it becomes less deep in the upper portions of the black and white macro photograph. Digital, black & white photograph.
