I like the thought behind this image and I think it can definitely represent a zen feel. Unfortunately I think the lighting doesn't do the textures of the feather justice and instead give it a flat boring feel.

The focus is a bit off as well, it should be a bit sharper IMO so you still retain the softness of floating but are able to see the details the feather has to offer - the lighting is probably affecting this to some extent as well. I think the color choice for the background definitely works, helps promote a feeling of calm. There are some other technical issues with this photo but I think the biggest culprit here is the lighting. I gave a 4

I like the idea, but there needs to be more light. You can either bump up the contract in photoshop, or set up the camera on a tripod and try a longer exposure.

I like the composition but feel the feather could do with a little more light on it.

Nice one, but feel the purple is a little to strong a color for the lightness on the feather.

too much chromatic differences. if you work on complimentary colors it would be better.
