Another one from the feather series I took this winter - the colors on some of the feathers are absolutely amazing so they make great subjects. I had wondered about the crop (vert vs diag) and found that since it was a large feather, the shaft appeared too imposing to have diagonally
Perfect choice of composition and thank you for including how you made your decision. We're all here to learn from each other and it's great when photographers let us inside their heads so we know why they did what they did.
You really seemed to nail this one. You have a little section in the ULC that isn't quite as perfectly in focus but I really had to look for it. The orange against the black is stunning and really holds the eye. Nice work!
Hi George...Very interesting series. This is well handled technically. It seems like your doing a whole series on this and with enough variances would make a neat show. At the Brooklyn Bot Gard I once saw a show on various tree barks done in a vert pano format. It was simply great! I think your on to something different!
Beautiful texture & pattern !
This image is creating a strong optical illusion. The left edge of the frame looks tapered as we move from bottom to top & the whole shape of the frame looks like a trapezoid (even though we know it is rectangular) !!!!!
I'm not sure if others notice it or is it just "my illusion" !
I like this image.
