Thanks to everyone who voted this high and/or gave constructive comments. I had a really bad case of photographer's block and couldn't come up with anything non-clice (sky, water...) then my son found the feather and say "how about this for the challenge?" Figures an 11 year-old would be partly responsibile for my highest scoring entry. And yes, I have thanked him!
To answer some of the qustions posed during the challenge, the feather was naturally lit with difused light; the small aperture & long shutter account for the richness in tones. OK, OK, I should have known better than to post a photo w/ such a large frame - there's almost always an active thread bashing boarders. For thoes of you that didn't like the "shadows" on the right... this is a Blue Jay's freather and those are it's natural markings. |

| Stunning in it's display of colors and light. Excellent macro. I'm giving you a 9, and my only nit is the frame, which i find too thick. |

| The feather is a real WOW all the way. Perfect composition, exposure and focus. Your lighting brings out the intense colors exceptionally well. Having said that, the heavy border is way too overbearing for me. If it needs a border at all (which I doubt) - I'd suggest a thin black one. But the image itself is so strong, I see you in the top ten at least. |

| well done, the color and tones lend to a very sophisticated feel. i think i'd like it better if it were either all crystal clear, or if the blurry areas were evey blurier |

Stunning image!
Frame is much too big for this shot in my opinion. Though frames often don't work, this shot benefits from a black frame, but maybe 1/2 it's current width.
A well-deserved ((8))
