Neon snowflakes

This my next effort to completely change look and feel of snowflake photos, captured on glass surface. I already applied this technique to two large fernlike dendrites, and now it’s time for two smaller snow crystals with relatively simple structure: High voltage and Ice relief:

This processing is really simple, though it also requires some time. I use difference blending mode to separate snowflake details from background (it looks like subtracting clean background from snowflake). I like difference blending very much: often it can be used to create very interesting effects and colors. You can see another example of it’s abilities: Mirror’s edge, picture of snowflake in vivid colors, caused by blending two variants of same crystal, processed in different colors.
