Overall great shot. The rain drops (I think) a little distracting

I'm not sure I like the overblown areas even though that makes the image all the way more graphical. The reason is that the idea of the image is not graphical by nature, so now the image is being teared up, to two dimensions of graphical boundaries and detail which hold the real interest. The shot has been well seen, but some reconsideration for composition might make it even more effective. Now the overall curves seem to arch semirandomly.

I would have liked to have seen the centered feather brought closer.

Good detail captured here, but there is no real focal point to rest my eyes on.

These feathers are really intricate, though the focus of all of them leaves it feeling a little too busy.

Closer, closer, closer. That is so pretty, i think it could stand up to the extra scrutiny a closer shot would yield.

This is a really nice shot. What would have made it a great shot, and in my opinion, a ribbon contender, would be if you had applied the rule of thirds to the horizon line. In other words, cut the sky down so the horizon line was 2/3 up the photo. Still, a 7 from me
