'dropped feather'

...

Awesome texture but maybe just a little too much contrast (but please, that's just my thought; I don't do a lot of B&W and cannot authoritatively comment on it). I feel this is a very nice image.

Towards the top right of the image it is a little burned out. It takes away from the total picture in my opinion. Great shot though, I love the composition.

Pals thanks for comments, I accept the uper right corner is burnt out, but it's a trade off. I sacrificed it for the midle and lower left of the feather. Thanks for sharing. Take care

I wouldn't notice any burnt out points if not mentioned. It is a great shot, nice details! I can sit down and count the barbs :)

Nice eye. I like the design and the texture.

thanks for your opinion.
