My daughter collects exotic feathers, I borrowed some and took about 200 shots, finally got one I was content with, straight shot adjusted brightness, contrast and saturation slightly. Sharpened and resized.

great composition is this a dyed feather or a real feather? shame that you lost focus on the tip of petruding piece, altogether brilliant pic!!!! Congratulations on a very well deserved ribbon!!
I didn't get a chance to vote on (or even look at!) the texture challenge and I am so sorry! This photo is wonderful, and I am so glad that you got a ribbon with it and it ended up on the home page where I could snap it up into my favorites folder! Really lovely work, congratulations.
hmm, I only gave this picture 5 and it came out 2nd. I'm trying to think, why?.
I don't get a strog 3d textur feel from this photo. Bit confused how this texture would feel, I know these are soft feathers but I get a metalic wire feel from the photo.
I usually sit close to the monitor and all these strong lines almost gave me a headache but its better if I move about 1 meter from the monitor but I did not do that dureing voting.
After takeing a longer look and thought I would probably vote 7, from 1 meter distance.
Now this is a good shot. The composition is fantastic. I think this could be sharper and appears to have some noise (little dots going up the gold stem), but the colors and presentation make up for it.
Excellent color... good composition and lighting as well. This looks like feathers, but it also looks like really thin wires. I wish I knew exactly what these are, but I've liked this photo everytime I see it.
The fact that there seem to be about twenty feather pictures and this image still pops out as a 10 is amazing. Great lighting, fine focus plane, just lovely.
very good indeed, great texture and also interesting and well composed. 10
Edit: This is my 1000th comment, so looking for a nice image to critique - gone through them all and this stands out by far as being the best. Colours are so righ yet calm. Will be in my faves ASAP.
Good work and hope you get the blue you deserve. JP
Awesome awesome awesome
I love the colors and the gracefulness. Also, I think it is very effective how the diagonals contrast. Wouldn't change a thing.
This is outstanding. All technical, compositional and creative aspects are perfect. I want this in my "Favorites" when we're done. Will you get the Blue? Hope so. 10
Wonderful abstract-ish shot. Great light, great feel. Not quite sure it really gives an impression of texture - it seems more graphical than that, more about lines and colours than surfaces, but I'm sure the impact of the shot will get past that in most voters minds. Still a 7.
