That's pretty cool.

#3, 5 and 7 are my fav

Cheers Matt and Ysarex.. See a few more in this so I'll play a bit more.

#3 and 5 are pretty cool.

Might I suggest that you crop #3 as a landscape instead of portrait orientation?
Like so:

Maybe even rotate it 180 to fit with the "eyelashes" idea. But I think I prefer it this way.
(NOTE: I also did a very slight curves adjustment to give it a little bit more of a bright "airy" feel--but that may not have been your intent)

Thanks sm4him I probably constrict myself by trying to crop to print aspects. I do recall trying a square crop feeling it was sitting in too much grey. Think I felt the black just gave it some kind of balance. Also the feather shaft seems to intrude. Now the chances of me getting the feather to look similar again without a bucket load of patience and tweezers seem slim. But yeah like you there's something more with that image. Should I get a feather similar again I'll certainly be trying a lot harder to manage the composition.

Very cool, I like that you dare to try something out of the box and it works too!
