I found a chicken feather the other day and put it my pocket for possible future use - this is it.
Water was dropped on with a bamboo skewer and the feather is resting on pale green paper. Although the paper seems absolutely smooth, at this magnification it has unwanted texture but it's not as bad as the first piece I tried.
I cropped down a bit from the top because there was some dirt on the feather even though I thought I'd cleaned it all off.

Hey, thanks everyone for the comments and votes. This was weird. It seemed to be heading for the heights right from the start and I'm not used to that. Feels good though!

I was trying to find an interesting way to shoot a feather just like this and failed. This is quite nice. Might go for a bit more DOF with such a straight-on perspective but the lighting and composition are appealing to me.
