This is one heck of an image, Artie. I'm already envisioning this in NB! Love the white on white and your choice of composition. Seeing just a small piece of the bill helps to anchor the image and to help viewers visualize. I like the textures and curves.

An example of great exposure choice. Love the subtle whites.

You squeezed as much detail out of white feathers as is possible!
Textbook processing and in camera exposure.
The image is really cool with all the bumps and curves.
It sort of needs a border though, in this viewing format.

What a smooth, soft (in a good way), peaceful picture! The comp flows very nicely from top right to lower left with gentle curves along the way.

Very artie-istic and beautiful. Masterfully composed. TFS

Beautiful closeup and nice details and composition!

Pure Elegance. The soft whites, curves & textures make such a lovely abstract.

Artie, I like the image in your blog far better. Without the eyes it just does not work for me. Gary.

This is a perfect example of a muted, understated image screaming volumes of creative beauty !
It is a stunning natural moment, captured in the finest Artie style !
I can't help but wonder how many of us, seeing the buried head, would look right past the possibilities.
Thanks, Artie, for making us think !

Thanks Gry for commenting and for visiting the blog. I am going with the majority here. I feel sttrongly that #1 with its simplicity is the far stronger image. In addition, the lines and flow are much stronger in #1 than in #2. I am planning on entering #2 in several major contests.

Fantastic Artie. It is always great to see your different approach to image. I do wonder if people who are not familiar with the subject would now what it is? Although it would make them stop and think. For this reason I prefer #2 from your blog.

Very unique , interesting and abstract image. Love the dune like curves, humps and bumps. Keeps the viewer's attention trying to figure it all out

YAW. For me, itis #1 by miles.... I will be entering it in a few major contests. #2 is run of the mill--I have lots better that show the eye but touch more on the lines and flow in image #1.
