Red Blue Flakes

Yet another snowflake picture. I wouldn't have submitted this one, but earlier today I was explaining to ~Tanja0869 about blown highlights, and I realized: some of my photos I thought had irredeemable blown highlights, actually only get them when a color profile is applied. Which means, that it IS possible to get the quality in those areas back, if I do it before the color profile is applied (if I just didn't apply the color profile then it would look rather dull). So anyway, this is one flake which I previously thought couldn't be saved, but which I think I saved pretty good with Aperture's Color adjustments (mainly turning down the lightness a lot, and saturation a little, of red).

Pentax K20D, 100mm 1:1 macro with +5 closeup lens, 1s @ f14, ISO100.
