Hey, Nikons can take pictures just as well as Canons.

They can, but Canons have fewer issues when it comes to reverse macro

Trying to wrap my mind around what reverse macro means exactly. XD And you're welcome.

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a comp-made fractal, but it's not and no one does beautiful designs better than nature.

I had a look at that tutorial link, what a cool idea!
My question is, when I tried it, I had no way of focusing the shot, also could not set aperture etc and all I got was fuzz and when I did get to see the subject, it was only sharp in one spot and blurry in others. That kept shifting because standing stock still is next to impossible for a person.
How did you get this amazing image to be so focused all around?

The depth of field when shooting in reverse macro is incredibly shallow. If you want the entire subject to be in focus, you have to shoot it from a head-on angle. For example, if you're looking at your subject at an angle, only a narrow band of it will be within the focus range. For this shot, the frost was on the window. As long as I shot straight at the frost and didn't angle my camera, most of the crystal stayed in focus
