Sat here staring out of the window for inspiration I was initially distracted by the birds busy emptying the feeders. So this week lets try Feathers - could be on the bird, on the ground, decorating a hat, real or artificial As a weekly competition you are welcome to scour your archives as long as the image has been taken on a Pentax camera or acceptable clone Good luck |

To the judging/comments then,
Floating by NigelK
A well observed shot with the main subject perfectly exposed. I particularly like the reflection of the feather. An image which conveys a level of peace and quiet
Backlit by gibis
A well staged shot which again is well exposed, The background bokeh is really pleasing and the detail in the feather (including the accumulated fluff) is brilliant. For an inanimate object it seems to be alive!
Free by Flan
Another super image. The subject is pin sharp and the details in the wing feathers are superb. The background is just out of focus enough to make the bird "pop"
Beware the Boogeyman by Noelcmn
At first glance I thought this was a mask, definitely two eyes and an unkempt fringe! I am not sure whether Noel has staged this or observed an existing arrangement, either way it is an engaging image which has made me smile. As with the others this week exposure and focus is on the nail.
Trying to separate these four has been difficult as I like them all, each has something which really appeals - so it is down to fine margins.
So the winner / rankings for this week are:
1st - Backlit by gibis
2nd - Free by Flan
Joint 3rd - Floating by NigelK and Beware the Boogeyman by Noelcmn
