Feather Feather

I shot this image for another site's scavenger hunt, then I saw the Duotone Challenge here. I decided to enter the image as a Duotone at the last minute. After uploading, I noticed the thread in the forum about clarifying the meaning of duotone. I had to laugh out loud when I saw that the previous winner was a feather with its shadow! I was not trying to duplicate the previous shot; I had no idea that it had even been done. When I was taking the first shots of the feather on white paper, I noticed the interesting shadow, so I had my husband hold the feather up off the paper to get a better composition. Just wanted to clear this up.

I think more contrast would help this image out. I think the approach is interesting.

Thanks for the comments. When I pulled up to take the shot, I was disappointed to see the car parked there, but I decided to leave it in for a couple of reasons: 1. to show the size of the sign 2. because of the interesting reflection. I had a lot of trouble resizing this image without artifacts showing in the blue sky. Any suggestions?

I think the car takes away from the photo.

the car just kills this shot for me...i know this was not possible to clone out, possibly a higher crop from the bottom. 4.

At first I didn't like the car there, but the reflection on the car is kinda cool.

Unusual signage, nice capture. IMO, I would have preferred it with the car cropped out, of course that is only my opinion. Good luck
