I love the simplicity of this and the off-centre composition works very well.

Thanks for the great comments and votes. I would have liked to get closer, but this is an almost 1 to 1 crop. The picture was taken by turning my teleconverter backwards (thanks for the idea Jillz!), taping the feather to one end and taking a picture through the other, using the 60w bulb as a backlight.

So... No I can't get much closer and the DOF issues were totally out of my control - (my f-stop was at 8.0, the max for my camera.)

Good choice of subject coupled with an attractive composition. Might have been nice to get a bit closer so we could see more detail.

I love the lines in this one. The color just really brings it all together at the spine of the feather

This looks like a macro shot of a feather or something. I like the parallel lines.

I've been looking at it for a while now but really can't figure it out. What is it? Nice toning and compositon, I like it.

Composition: Interesting composition. I think I may have tried rotating it 45 degrees CW, but it looks fine as is.
Technical: Nice focus, apart from far-right. It looks a little oversharpened? Nice colour and lighting.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: I think I'd have liked to see this in the Contrasts challenge. Seems a little 'flat' for this challenge.

Still trying to decide what it it is, but I like it and the mystery, nice clear clean lines, technically well done and fits the challenge.
