Nice one... I like the smoke... Little bit to styled with the cookies. Light on the mug is nice

Large images to show the detail of the feathers would have been better

This is one of the few thick, "fancy" frames that I really, really think adds to the whole composition. It doesn't hurt that your subjects are beautiful, though. The feather to the right is definitely the strongest, in my opinion. I was about to suggest that it might be nice with the center feather more centered. But on closer look, I see that its shadow contributes nicely.

3 very well executed shots...I would however like to see more equal tones in the background of the 2 color shots...the one on the left has a much deeper tone to it... but nice work.

Wow - beautiful detail and sense of lightness. Even your shadows in the borders supports the feel.
