Very obscure - though likeable enough, in its way. I like the impressionistic, wind-blown quality, but it's hard to see it as a portrayal of a quality of texture - more of the quality of the lightness of a feather (in which approach, it's really rather good). 5
Good use of shallow depth of field. The small crop is good to create "anxiety" in the viewer, if that is what you want, but I felt that it needed something else to load.

+ There is texture present. Fortunately you mention in the title that this subject should resemble a feather
- I think the bird from whom this feather was must have been died a terrible death as these feathers are just so poor and fragile :(. Very uninteresting photo and combined with the strange unsharpness at the left side of this picture makes this a sad thing to view.
