Location: Springfield, VA

 Trying to get the sense of motion of a feather in the wind. Held spare parrot feather in one hand and camera in other, trees and sky in the background, and moved the feather while shooting. Sort of a panning thing, but didn't end up with anything clearly in focus. But I like this a lot as an abstract, and think a trippy sort of picture is appropriate for Zeppelin.

PP - converted from RAW, cloned out billions of dust spots (must clean camera!!!), increased saturation and contrast, cropped, resized, sharpened.

Very good abstract study of color and motion. I am not usually one for abstracts or macros, but the movement in this one makes it so much better. I do guess that many other voters will disagree.

I really enjoy this photo. The movement is great and the contrast really adds to it. I'm having a difficult time saying why I admire it, but I do.

Nice colors. This would also do well in "blurry mess".

Very nice abstract piece of work. The colors are complementary and vivid. Could be a tad more careful on cleanup (some sensor dust spots that distract). Overall, nicely done!

I like the concept. Nice color. The feather certainly conveys motion but is a little too blurry for my taste.

Simple and elegant. Fits the flavor of the song well, IMO.
