Feathers

[JFisher14]

I'm thinking about entering this in an open contest. I haven't done macro much. Any changes to the composition ? Does it work in black and white? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you in adavnce.

Could you tell us a bit about the camera and settings used as well as about the processing you have done?

Thanks,

Wulf

Sorry about that... I'm learning my way around this. Any help / critique is appreciated.

I really like the lines you have created with this, and I do think the b/w works, at least for me. I kept wanting a bit more sharpness in the centers of the feathers, and wondered what would happen if a little more sharpening was added. Other than that, I really like the composition.
