An update to 2001's "Winterborn". I wanted this version to be brighter and have a little more "magic". Hope you enjoy it!!

This artwork creates a microscope view of creation in a micro world seldom explored.

"Awesome - Please Dual Screen this!"
I would love this for my computer screen, but gotta have it for Dual monitor. Maybe this part on the left side & a smaller one a bit further back for the left so not cut in the middle?

Ryan, this one and a few others are missing the losses link.

Howdy _ Ryan you certainly captured and portrayed the brilliance, detail and beauty of the most remarkable natural creations by Mother Earth _ Good work \Horseman LR

Hi



I would love a 5790*1200 for my 3 screen setup at work!

Magical, Ryan! Brilliant!

I agree with an earlier comment - this could be a microscopic photograph. (I also agree that you should not let naysayers or grumblers dampen your spirit.)

Still hoping for a dual screen version for my work PC. Would begging help?

"Dual & Triple Screen"
Are there ever going to be a dual and triple screen version for us multi-monitor users?



I'm getting the feeling there won't be by the lack of response on the matter so far, but it would be nice if Ryan confirmed one way or the other.

It's a good picture. It's simple and yet elegant with a good texture. Excellent way to capture the Christmas spirit in a snow flake.

Are they rendering?

"Love it"
I love "Winterborn" and have always been sad that the only images available looked distorted on my desktop. I love this updated version! Well done!

Is there going to be a multi-screen version of this?

Nice pic always blown away by the detail that you put into these. I can see the amount of work that you put into these renders. Don't regret my membership one bit!

You give this image a lower rating because you're not personally being snowed on right now? Lame.

Winterborn was one of my favorites and this one is a great update for it! The semi transparentness (If that's a word) of it is awesome.



I would be happy with the original if the resolution fit my screen :)

So, today (Nov. 3rd) is my birthday, and what a great present. Thanks for the great art -- I am a big fan, and love your originality and all that you do!

This could pass for an actual macro photograph! You have definitely outdid yourself in realism! Please keep it up, and never mind the occasional nitpickers.

"Not too early..."
Definetly not too early. Here in the Alps we've had about 10 cm (about 4 inches) of snow last weekend. I can't wait for winter to start, and this is perfect for getting me in the mood for it! As always: a masterpiece.

Its coming into summer in the other half of the world remember, so don't forget your international fans in the southern hemisphere too. I live near the great barrier reef in the coral sea, so Christmas for me it hot with palm trees and seafood !! No snow for me !!

Where is the lossless 2560x1440 version?

Nice! Like some others here, a touch of some Christmas (colored) lights would make this a 10 as well as add some colors to it.

"Lights"
I see a hint of prismatic color on the left side wonder if some soft Christmas lights in the background would give it that "Christmas" feel. As always Thanks!

"Elegant!"
Wife suggested maybe some color variations for the desktop to cycle through. Either way, bring on the snow!!

Very nice. Very wintry, not necessarily a Christmas image but then again, I've never been one to skip holidays since Thanksgiving is still weeks away.

Awesome, Really love the detail of the flake. I hope you are able to get the winter version of the Red and Gold working again. Keep up the great work Ryan. Your rock!!

Outstanding. I love your winter related work. My favorite, I think, is still Snowy Creek (2006), though.

Thanks for going with hexagonal design, as found in nature.

"Sweet - Windows Phone 8 res?"
Looks great. would it be possible to start including 768 x 1280 in your mobile resolutions? It's the resolution of the Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone 8, came out this week. :)
