Oh, how sweet! Pink ruffles and clear blue water. Well composed. The simplicity of this image is its strength.

Seriously you couldn't have picked a more perfect color combo and the reflection really adds to the shot. A slight desat in colors would have made this fit the challenge a little better but I still am giving you an 8.

The Feather and The Egg
by grahamgator

Comment by RyanW:
i get that birds come from eggs so there is a correlation there, but the egg seems to be more the central subject than the feather, in a challenge about feathers. every time i look at this, my eye is drawn to the egg and the feather blends into the background too much.
while i can understand a "light and fluffy" feather entry being soft, it feels rather "out of focus" here given the theme.

**Edit**
After a full and complete pass of the full-size images, this is getting a bump in score. I still feel that my eye is drawn to the egg and that the feather is rather on the soft side for my personal preference, but it's still a better shot than many other entries in the challenge.

Nice idea - they go together in more than one way. The background looks funny and blotchy, but the tones are great.

For some reason, the egg looks more flat like a pebble. Still the juxtaposition of textures and similar colors, work really well here.
