Astounding! Did you alter the color in post?

Thanks JM,

Yes, I did a series of test shots with gel on flash  and colored backgrounds but the effect was the same , so I then did them in white light / Speedlight only rather than fixing gels to the Speedlight as white can be changed in post.

Now I have a Lume Cube Panel Pro so I can put the desired color SOOC.

As noted , teh real magnum opus with these is natural sunlight at low angle.

It gives a golden  kaleidoscope look with each ice facet breaking the spectrum.

I tested many colors of gels and backgrounds but blue and white seemed to work best w/o direct sun.

On FB Macro there are many examples - its an easy one.
