I hope this fits, it is an unattached feather. I liked the patterns.

This fits the theme perfectly, John. :smile: Great close-up view of this beautiful feather. I especially like the pearly green/blue color and all that great texture. I do wish it was all in sharp focus. . .a smaller aperture opening like F/18 would have helped with this. Beautiful find and great entry. :smile:

beautiful colors and patterns, but I agree that I wish all was in focus

The colors are great, as are the shapes and lines. Like the others, I find myself wishing the top was in focus also, but that is tough at this level of magnification.

John: Couldn't tell from the thumbnail if this was a feather or butterfly wing. Wonderful abstract and colors. >=))>
