 A beautiful droplet in the sea of our time. I tried to capture the fluidity of water, the smooth surface tention of the droplet in contrast to the feather. The feather softly shows the ripples of the feather's vane and barbs and the zig zag of reflecting light echoing the water Photographed in a moment of reflection in a cematary lake.

I am still struggling to resize images, please let me know if I did it incorrectly again. Any advice opinion welcome.

Hi, one thing I find really distracting in this photo is all the stuff in the water it really pulls attention away from the feather. The base of the feather is a little overexposed and the bottom right corner is under exposed as well.

Remember to use the rule of thirds I would use the extra space to show the color and ripples in the water. I wish the feather was a little smoother, I think the bottom half of the feather is unattractive.

To wrap up I really like the water in this photo but stuff in it is distracting. Remember not to place your subject in the center of the frame, it leaves nowhere for your eyes to go. If you have any questions for me feel free to PM me.

I like images like this. I did something similar for obsolete, not with much texture though.
I like how you see things (maybe because I look at similar things :))
I don't know how well this image works for this challenge, but, I don't think it's very strong either. I think it's the angle of light, combined with the overall sharpness of the image that doesn't make the bots of the feather pop out. The water is fine and I like it a lot.

Could be a great shot, but a couple of things hold it back IMHO. Lighting is too harsh - causing wash out. Wrong crop - feather is too dead center. Water is great and the idea is too.

Good contrast. The drop on the feather is a nice touch.
