This was just a feather laying at the side of a road, the only thing i did to it was cropping and adding a very small border.

Greetings from the Critique Club -

Well, your description of your entry helps explain the issues I have with this image. This is basically straight from camera and it has that feel. The colors are flat and the lighting is just ok. Soft in focus too. It just has no dynamic feel to it at all. It is just a snapshot basically.

Without going into everything I think you could have done, a minimal amount of post processing - levels, saturation, sharpening - could have really brought out some interest in this image. As it is though its just not much to look at. It doesn't hold my interest long enough to want to look at it for longer than what it took to hit a number. And unfortunately for this shot, thats what DPC requires for the higher vote. Play around with your editing, experiment a bit and see what you come up with. You could have scored higher here.

Would have been nice if this could have been lightened softly from the front.

Pretty! It might be better if you changed the composition around a bit - and maybe had the feather to the side instead of straight on in the center. Also the lighitng could be a little brighter. But otherwise this is really pretty - your focus is PERFECT!
