Aperture: F/3.5
ISO: 1600

The title is from a line in the Counting Crows song American Girls. I found it fitting as only weather (or something else violent) would have given me these feathers, and noise is what I wound up with.

What weirded me out was that I didn't realize until after I had sorted through my shots and settled on this one, that this was shot handheld as a test shot.

Yes, I wish it had turned out better, scored better, etc., but the bottom line is, I didn't allow enough time.

i adore it. it's just i wanted to see more of that strand-like thing. there were so much blurred part than those which are not which i think prevents a viewer to appreciate its details.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at? I like the texture and color, but I think a little more DOF would help.

Excellent DoF and composition. I'm unsure how the title related to the photo but that doesn't matter. Good shot.

the shallow depth of field detracts a lot
