 I really strugged to come up with something for this challenge. I tried a few things and nothing seemed to work right. So, I used a shot I had taken on a photo night Tuesday at the Nelson Museum of Art. One of several shots I took looking up through the shuttlecock on the museum lawn. The two things I don't like about this shot for this challenge. One, there are really 9 quill feathers that make up the shuttlecock, I just cropped two of them out. Two, I'm not sure the feather quill are really the main subject of the image just because of the title. Having said that, it is an interesting perspective and the sky was awesome Tuesday. So, I'm expecting a low score.

And as always, my evaluation was completely wrong from the voting. It's a 6+ image. Thanks everyone for the great comments and votes. Much appreciated.

Not a member [yet...] so I can't vote. Instead I'm clicking through the images and commenting on those that make me stop and look. This is one of those images.

Love the composition and the color palette. Hope it does well!
