A very artistic image. I like the texture differences between the feather and drop of water. I also like the green hue, boosts the shot up for me. I'm not getting a general solitude or lonely feel from this image BUT, oddly enough when I look at the water drop it seams very tear-like to me. Not sure why. That then leads me to thinking of despair which can come from loneliness or solitude - so.. what I'm trying to say is.. 8!
a very interesting and nicely done image. I love how the texture is amplified in the water droplet. the leading lines of the feather add drama, as does the short dof to make the foreground feathers whispy.
