Re: Feathers..
They are interesting, I think most if not all work on some level. Nice concept.

Re: Feathers..
I'm afraid they don't really work for me. In would go for the third one if pressed. However, I can see that these would appeal to those more aesthetic the me! I would like to see some other of your pics though.

Re: Feathers..
#5 works for me - it would make a nice dreamy background for the right photo.

Re: Feathers..
I like the 5th and 6th in particular, Stef, because they are suggestive of other things. The 5th reminds me of a breaking wave, and the 6th is a view onto a wooded hillside.

Re: Feathers..
Hi Stef
They all work for me too as I like artistic images and abstracts. My favs are #4 and #5.

Re: Feathers..
Thanks everyone fascinated at the diversity. Got them printed as a little play into the whole production of photography. Had similar mixed opinions. I'm with Greg the slightly more abstract ones work better for me. I saw what Greg did and pp'd a little that way. Think a few now have preferred the more feather looking ones.
A little more fascinated by the works but not me opinions. So does that mean I'm kinda of getting the balance and composition in the ball park?
Related @ John will post more, just keep getting a little drawn back to this subject matter. Also finding with 1 speedlite it's helping me learn. I'll post a different subject matter soonish.
