Try angling it for a more interestesting presentation instead of right through the middle. Also, brighten it quite a bit so that the stem is white instead of gray.

I really think this is a great picture of a feather. And I accept that a feather may be sacred to an Indian. But I think this would be better if there was something more to the picture to help it communicate the point that this feather is sacred. Maybe some kind of Indian fetish or artifact.

I regret that the feather blends into the background.
