Once again, thank you to everyone that took the time to comment. Many people commented on the lighting. I have to admit I was pleasently surprised how this image turned out as there was no lighting to speak of, just the over head light in the room. I was really only setting this up to see what it came out like with a view to tweaking the lighting and playing around with various lamps etc afterwoods. As it turned out it didn't need it. As with 'asleep' which used a torch and 'a new addiction' which used a mini maglite, I guess it shows that fancy lighting isn't always needed. BTW, the image is not B&W it's full colour - that was the colour of the feather, the lighting along the edges is also the colour of the feather and not added by any lighting.

Great lighting and detail -- looks like you could touch it.

I think this photo is great, but I like it 100% better even, if it is cropped just above the "spine" of the feather. Of course, that would not meet current dpc requirements, but it still would be dynamite. Just my thoughts. Take what you can use and disregard the rest. 8, just-married

Quite beautiful well captured andrewm

It's a good sharp picture with some strange shadows. If I knew what it was I could score it. Right now I can't see that it fits the challenge nor is a cool picture. So it is a 3. Let me know what it is and I'll rethink my score. This is the only way I know to be fair to you. PTL

Destined to be one of my favorites. Feathers are my *thing*, and this shot is just beautiful. Not a single thing about it that I do not like. lhall
