This is amazing! It took 1 year to get the 1st ribbon, 3.5 years to get the second, and now another ribbon in a week. I'm in shock.
With all the snow we've had, I thought of the silence of falling snow - but it's tough to photograph. Maybe a cotton on cotton, a marshmallow on cotton, and with that came a feather on cotton and finally a feather on feathers. My head was stuck around the white objects, so even though I tried it with a colored feather, I liked the white on white.
I did try it with more contrast, but liked the high key image better.

I love how soft this is, beautiful lighting and love the one floating feather. Congratulations on your yellow ribbon. Gave this one a 10 during voting.
I thought I saw you here not long ago. Well congratulations. I think the subject and rendition (White-on-white, Soft focus, etc.) made this fit the Challenge theme even more. Try some more B/W.
Beautiful shot - I immediately pictured it with a white kitten trying to catch falling feathers - now there would be another lovely shot too - you have captured a lovely range of gentle tones from near white to mid/darker gray, and how delightful an image -very well done
Oh this is so amazing! I am in love with this photo. Keep turning out photography like this and you'll be like Irene with a ribbon or two every week :) Congratulations. Your award winning photography is most deserving!
Wow! Becky this is a beautiful, delicate, gentle, soft image that fitted the challenge perfectly, but it also has a timeless quality that will stand the test of time. I love the processing. Congrats on a ribbon!
This has got to be a winner - what amazing, skillful lighting. You've made the feathers look as though they are made of the essense of air, and could disolve back at any moment... Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful shot and I love the lighting and the lightness of it all. I know that feathers falling don't make a sound but the image conveys to me more a feeling of softness and lightness then silence.
If the theme had been "Softness,Gentleness or Lightness" I would have given it a 9 or maybe even a 10.
Still it's very well done and comes close enough to conveying the idea of silence as well to deserve an 8.
Beautiful tones, textures & lighting. This is one of my favorites in this challenge as I can't hear anything except silence from this frame (excluding a sneeze shortly after shooting).
THis is actually quite a sweet image - but its doesnt feel `contrasty` enough.. Such a shame as I reckon you could of done VERY well with this.. still giving it a 7.
