Radiant green
This is tiny snowflake, around 1 mm. In center of the crystal can be seen subtle green color, caused by thin film interference effect. 8 serial shots averaged to boost signal-to-noise ratio. Background: dark woolen fabric, natural light (clouded sky), external optics Helios 44M-5, march 2013, Moscow.
More snowflakes in album snowflakes and snow crystals.
Also i wrote small article about my shooting technique.

Pretty fly
My first insect "studio stack". This is large fly of some common species.
Gear: "snowflake" macro setup, containing Canon Powershot A650 and reversely mounted Helios 44M-5 as magnifier (here its description and photos) + small desktop tripod (Continent F7).
Light: ambient daylight in room + direct sunlight from left side through sheet of white paper. Background: light blue book cover.
Source images: serie of 64 photos (16 groups with different focus, and each group contained 4 identical images for averaging). After RAW processing, i averaged images in groups and then do focus stacking.

Twelve months
Another 12-sided snowflake. This crystal was bigger, around 5 millimeters in diameter, and slightly harder to process (complicated shape and many ice debris in close proximity). Previous 12-sided snowflake: Wheel of time.
Glass background with backlight, additional lens Helios 44M-5, january 2014, Moscow. 8 RAWs averaged.
