A Different Perspective - Feathers

Comment:
I love the light and the feathers...I'm just not crazy about the long and narrow crop...maybe if a little more on the right were cropped or even cropping out all the background and having the feather completely fill the frame? Still an interesting pic : }

Kate,

I can't believe most of the comments below...it must be quite dull to go through life with no imagination or firm grasp of language for some of these people...some of these comments are just amazingly rude and make the commenter seem...well...just kinda dense...at least...AT LEAST open a dictionary people before you say something doesn't meet a challenge...then open your minds.

My favorite image of the challenge...the "dirty-ness" is very appealing...such wonderful textures... the shine of the punching bag, the musculature of the forearm...also, this image conveys such brutish power enhanced quite nicely by the roughness of the grain...nicely done.
