Was shooting a bird-feeding frenzy when I noticed this swan feather on the ground. Picked it up - you never know when it can prove useful... Shot on top of a light-box with additional handheld LED lights. This is a 3x lifesize magnification using my (precious) Canon MP-E 65mm

I like the composition very much. I think this would be nicer with increased contrast.

very interesting patterns and objects, but the verall image is a bit too light w/ very little contrast unless this is intended to be so.

Neat shot - I'm sure this was a personal choice and you went with what you thought was best, but for me it seems like more contrast with really make this pop.

This is a nice subject and you've isolated the pattern quite effectively. The details are nearly blown out, sadly. There needs to be more tonal contrast for the pattern to have maximum impact.
