Feathers of a Bird

It's off-center, but i think it could be a bit more interestingly shot. The lighting is dramatic, feather well-detailed, but I think the light at the bottom (glare?) is a bit too bright.

This photo could have been better if the grass are in sharper focus, while maintaining the huge DOF.

Just one feather ;) Great idea, meets challenge. Love the focus and the fact you included a vertical feather in a landscape format photo. DOF is spot-on, really like just how smooth the background gets toward the top. Two things that could be better are the blown out white soft bits of the feather (I know how hard that's to control, I've photographed feathers myself) and - something that's easy to control - the two out of focus longest bits of grass in front of the feather. I like that there are some in the front, but those two tall ones are just that (IMHO), too tall and detract from the feather.

Very bright, colorful boat, the kind I'm sure they'd like to have on the front of their magazine. This is a nice photo... I think I might have liked it if you had zoomed in a little more, putting type over the top of the sail wouldn't have been a problem, and since the main part of the photo is the boat and not the surroundings it just might have made it more interesting.

Appropriately for today (Friday), in some places that's known as "File 13."

This is funny. I think larger type on the labels would have made it more a photo I'd actually envision wanting to hang on my cubicle or something (in the dual sense of 'office art') but this one requires too close-up to make a good poster style thing.
