One of the neighborhood Turkey Buzzards lost a wing feather. When I examined it, to my surprise it was wonderfully gracefull and full of detailed beauty. All i did to it was minor post processing. Auto Level adjustment,Added a little contrast, and a bit of cloning to frmove unwanted artifacts, and unsharpen mask to finish it off. I lit it with a single 6500 Kelvin bulb with a black background.

A very nice macro with perfect focus. Background handled well. I'd like to see the end of the quill at the left.

Nice contrast of soft end and harder lines of main feather and quill. Nice composition.

Gorgeous lighting! Only nitpicky complaint is the color fringing (mostly on the lower right) - 8

nice photograph.....very appealing to me. I like the different textures, and the way the lighting picks up the different textures

Lovely balance of dark and light. Beautiful composition whti the flowing lines of the feather contrasted by the diagonal line of the quill. Fine work.
