Anyone missing a feather?
All feedback is welcome!

@marleen: Thank you, Marleen! Are you ....pffff.... OK? ;D
@Taija: Kiitoks! Valkoinen ja vihreä ovat hyvä väriyhdistelmä. Harmittaa tuo yksi männynneulanen joka tunkee etualalle, mutta sekin on osa luontoa.

It is so beautifully photographed, I love the little drops glistening on the highly detailed feathers

WOW beautiful Marilla. The detail on the feather is 1st class...

Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
Beautiful and it evokes thought... does every photographer have a shot of a feather found all alone..? I do!

@Earnest: I agree. :)
@k@: That's nice to hear, thanks!
daniela scharnowski from Berlin, Germany
OH, I´m so glad you found my feather! I searched the whole day for it - couldn´t fly a meter ;D
excellent light and details! the selected focus here is very clever used ;)

@daniela scharnowski: Is this yours? Sorry... Can I keep it awhile? If you could just walk a few weeks or so. Thanks a lot, Daniela!
@Marie: Merci, Marie!
Anita Bower from United States
I like the part of this feather that is in focus, and the out of focus areas behind. I find the out of focus front part of the feather distracting. Nice job with the whites.

@Krisu: Thanks, my friend! :)
