This Macaw Feathered Fan was made by my father, George \"Two Hawk\". He has used so many bits and pieces to make the fan. Feathers, fur pieces, thread, leather, and many beads. I have had the privledge of dancing in PowWow with this fan, as I\'ve felt the beat under the starry Montana sky. It is a feeling I\'ll never forget.

Well, well, well...way to represent Becky! This shot along with your others of Native American artifacts is simply stunning. Congrats Becky on a very nice finish with this beautiful photograph!
Kind of overdid it witht he title; it's sort of offputting int he way it tries to steer me to your way of thinking, when I could easily get there on my own. The lighting's a little harsh as well, but the composition is strong, the colors are pure, the subject is interesting, and you should do pretty well :-)
Coming back to comment. I gave you a ten on this image because the colors, lines, lighting are phenomenal. I interpreted this challenge as you did, that all things are made up of bits and pieces. You choose an object that conveys that well and I hope you do well in this challenge.
Ok, meets the challenge. I would suggest that you do not need to use your caption to spell out everything within the photo. The lighting on this shot is good, though a little light from the front would have highlighted those nice colors better. cOmposition is good and I like how it has been set on the black background. 5.
