I have a collection of feathers - some from my niece's parrots. They are colorfull and light. This was a learning experience in lighting and still not just what I wanted.
I may try this again but differently. My setup lacks consistency.

This is one of the few thick, "fancy" frames that I really, really think adds to the whole composition. It doesn't hurt that your subjects are beautiful, though. The feather to the right is definitely the strongest, in my opinion. I was about to suggest that it might be nice with the center feather more centered. But on closer look, I see that its shadow contributes nicely.
3 very well executed shots...I would however like to see more equal tones in the background of the 2 color shots...the one on the left has a much deeper tone to it... but nice work.
6 - Nice. Good title. Criticism; not sure on the outer 'padding', does give a 3d type of effect but not sure it complements the 'light and delicate' nature of the 'set'. Middle shot not sure on, especially cropping, size and loss of color and detail - again though, likely looks quite different 'wall size'. Colors overall are nice, but would like to see all a little 'richer'. Similar detail in #3 as in #1 would also make this a better triptych in my opinion.
I like the background "reverse gradients", and am interested in the optical illusion this creates, where the vertical spaces between the frames appear not be parallel, when they obviously are. I like the compilation very much, and the title!
