C&C macro shot: feather with water droplets

[BekahAura]

I spent hours shooting different feathers, with and without water droplets, and this is one of a few shots that I like the most.

I spent a lot of time rearranging my lighting. I have hotshoe flashes and umbrellas, but the reflections from these lights never came out right. I ended up lighting this shot with the flashlight app on my phone; go figure =/

Let me know what you think and how I could improve. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Not saying your shot isn't nice but it's not over the top. Take a look and see if you can be inspired!!! Think out of the box!!!

Think out of the box!!!

Iphone flashlight app for a light source??? I think she's already got "think out of the box" covered. I am not at that level by a long shot but I realize that even in the studio you may not always have the kind of light you want for the shot. I like that you can see the lines magnified through the water. That kind of stuff always grabs me. The focus is pretty sharp as well.

Sorry guys, my power went out for over 24 hours, during the blizzard, and I used the remaining battery on my laptop to watch a movie.

I was itching to see everyone's comments and I'm pleasantly surprised. Thank you all for your kind comments, I feel justified in being proud of this shot now!

I will definitely check out that link... I'm always looking for more inspiration =).

Derrel: LOL, well ok, if you think they will believe me.

I'm thinking about getting my boyfriend a smart phone... that way I can have 2 mini softboxes at my disposal.

Great picture, I really love it, but don't you think that the bottom of it is much darker than It should be??!
This is just me anyways =P
Nice job
