Pheasant feathers  2
Here is another from the pile of pheasant feathers. When processing the RAW in DPP, I clicked on the "linear" button under contrast, and these amazing colors appeared. I applied a simple version of the Orton technique to soften the feathers. Comments/critiques welcome. Thanks for looking.

This one is way better - you've gone from a snapshot to art...

Nice image, Rob; that's not saying I didn't like the first feather shot you posted.

This one is really outstanding. I think it's much better than the first.

I can only echo the previous remarks, "OUTSTANDING". My wife just walked by and looked at it and quickly remarked, "Wow, those are the colors I want in our new house. Shoot something like that for our great room."

Well done. Now I have to practice some more with the craft. :toast: :toast:
