    I'm loving your feather images. Love the different textures and detail. Wish to eliminate the lower left portion as it is not as strong as the other areas. TFS

    Interesting John to see how the overlapping feather layers criss-cross and to visualize the depth into which that extends. I think I'd try it with the exposure cut back somewhat in the lighter parts--as it is it feels somewhat washed out. And I agree with David on cropping out the mucky bit in lower left corner.

    John as others have said, interesting to see the feather details but the bottom left is a no go for me.

    Sharp with a good EXP but the wet matted feathers lower left are NG.

    As well as the LLC being unfortunate, I would also look at the extreme upper left corner to eliminate the small white feathers barely creeping in up there. All else looks great. Fun details to study!
