Theres a nice symmetry here with the darklightdarklight stripes and the blown candy center of this.
The bright orange draws you in first and lets the eyes wander down over the dark vane, leading into the blown and info-less rachis with the thin barb details. The detail then becomes a glorious study in the soft rigidity of a feather. It's like the curves of a woman, soft yet unyielding and firm when necessary. The hint of orange shining through is lovely, and the eye is softly let down to the lower dark portions.
Overall I really like it as a composition and a detail study, but it lacks a real focal point, or and anchor to really keep the eyes trapped on this view. There's an overall slow, sensual feel to the study, but it fails to deliver the final blow somehow. Unfortunately, I can't grasp an idea of how to make that happen within the context of the study, it's on the tip of my tounge, but It's not coming. If I think of something, I'll try to revisit the issue. |
