 Challenge Entry #8

The title came from the song "Trouble" by Coldplay...because that's what I was listening to when I pressed the shutter for this shot.

It's just a feather on a mirror with some sand sprinkled around it. The black area at the top came from the out of focus reflection of a dvd case in the background. I used sunlight from the window to light it. I realize that there are some blue and yellow areas that are slightly noticable...but theres not much I could do about them.

Post processing was simple; Auto Levels, Dodged and Burned a little bit, cloned out a distracting grain of sand, USM, Neat Image...

Thanks for the comments!

I am sure that having that white stuff in the photo was intention but I find it fairly distracting...

Very cool. I really like the placement and the angle of the feather and the reflection. I think I would like it better nice and clean (no little bits of white stuff).
