Sometimes with a snowflake you might find interference colors that are generated by very thin air gaps between the crystal's internal basal planes. It's difficult to bring out those colors in a photograph, and at the same time, maintain a natural appearance.
In this image, the rainbow of colors were not produced from a single crystal, instead, these interference fringes were the result of thin spaces between a number of separate crystals that have optically contacted themselves together. The colors were vivid when I stumbled upon them and I've done little to accentuate them.
