Coloured computer-enhanced image of a snowflake
Snowflake. Coloured computer-enhanced image of a snow crystal. Snowflakes show a typical hexagonal symmetry (as seen here) if the crystallisation occurs slowly, in calm air and in temperatures near freezing point. They are commonly flat and may have different shapes such as six sided polygons or stars. The beautiful pattern is often very complicated with needle-like structures and tiny bridges. Since the final shape is influenced by the weather conditions in which they form, no two snowflakes are identical

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured computer-enhanced image of a snowflake, revealing its intricate beauty and mesmerizing symmetry. The hexagonal pattern displayed here is a typical representation of snowflakes when they form slowly in calm air and near freezing temperatures. Each individual snowflake possesses its own unique shape, varying from six-sided polygons to delicate stars. The complexity of this stunning pattern is further enhanced by the presence of needle-like structures and tiny bridges that adorn the crystal's surface. These exquisite details are influenced by the specific weather conditions in which the snowflake forms, making it impossible for any two snowflakes to be identical. As we gaze upon this frozen masterpiece, we are reminded of the wonders that nature can create. It serves as a reminder that even something as small as a single snowflake holds immense beauty and intricacy within its delicate structure. This photograph not only captures the essence of winter but also highlights the significance of meteorology in understanding these natural phenomena. Through scientific exploration and observation, we gain insight into how climate shapes these ephemeral creations. Displayed against a clean white background, this cut-out image allows us to appreciate every minute detail with clarity and awe. It serves as an enchanting reminder that amidst cold winters and snowy landscapes lies an extraordinary world waiting to be discovered through science's lens.
