Comment by downward_spiral:
Excellent idea, reasonable composition, but the lighting is harsh and nasty. Try using natural light next time, or perhaps a lamp/flashlight and a tripod.

Might've been nice to backlight it against a window and create sillouettes?

Composition is alright, although I'd rather it was slightly further away from the birds myself.

Good attempt.

Cool idea and setting, however the image would have gained if the horizon was straight.

Would love to see this shot "re-done" with better lighting to bring out the blue, a nice crisp white background, and a bit more of a dynamic composition. I love the softness, though, and wouldn't change that - it really gives the downy feathery bits at the root end a lovely feel.

Sorry that I didn't get a chance to comment during the challenge, but was just going through the shots and this caught my eye.

Thanks everyone for your comments! This was my first submission and I learned a lot from it. This feather is from my Blue & Gold Macaw. So it is actually a blue feather to answer a couple of comments from people who didn't see blue.

What kind of bird did that come from? Beautiful feather, I like the slow and smooth transition from white to blue.

Your real bird is way too bright and I just don't like what is implied. Squimish I guess.
