 I was walking in Kirstenbosch gardens in Cape Town when I spotted this Guinea Fowl feather on the ground. Of course faery was hogging the camera at the time. Later on I just held up the feather with one hand while holding the camera in the other hand and shot about 15 pics. I chose the first one.

Nice detail. A little more open crop might help balance the foreground with the bokeh.

this is a great idea, the bokeh looks like it is wonderful, but the feather covers alot of it
