I enjoyed this one for it's artistic qualities !!! The softness of the feather and it's shadow against the harshness of the rough sawn cedar is a great contrast of texture , but gives it a lovely artistic value that I find very interesting !!!

Well done. I love the shadow on this. The texture of the wood contrasted by the feathers own unique texture and the darkness of the shadow all work well together. Good job.

Nice texture on the wood. The feather is a bit too much, the wood alone would have done very well for me.

Comment by Steef:
the shadow is very nice. i'd like maybe a little bit more space above the feather, it seems cropped just a bit too tight

An image that demonstates the subject matter of the challenge in spectacular fashion with excellant DOF and color control. Both a technical and artistic success that more than adequately meets the challenge subject in particular with the grayscale shades. A very worthy contender for top ten honors and a possible ribbon contender.

nice juxtaposition of feather soft and rough hewn wood...the B&W is ok, i wonder if sepia might not have brought the wood a bit more to life?

I don't know how to do it but more depth would have been good to convey texture.

Nice focus, but not particularly interesting - nothing to really attract the eye and say wow.
