 I saw this feather that fell in the creek and it had leaves around it that were still in their fall colors. I thought I would use this one for this month's Free Study.

I adjusted the hue and saturations in two steps and used LucisArt twice using the sculpture tool. Resized, USM,USM and saved for web.

I think you could have worked up the composition of this more effectively - the feather is just lying across the frame with no apparent consideration of the overall impact. Given the line/lines shape of the feather, I think you might have used that to make a strong element in frame - say, for example, a strong diagonal, and finding other elements to balance it and fill in the corners. This is a difficult kind of thing to learn though, as the 'standard rules' only apply in such obvious ways.
