Think you did quite well here, Jano. I too really like the b/w tones and contrast. The composition works. Nothing to worry about then ;) -Techo

Thanks CJ - I think I hurried too much with the last one. I think I hurried too much all the way around - but it is sooooo cold here and it's been like that for soooooo long... we just hurry hurry and don't take the time to think. Probably should have been a b&w to begin with, but I kinda liked the colors of the suet. But I think the focus is now on the feather vs. other distractions. jano

This looks good Jano! The b/w treatment draws the eye to the feather more. :-) CJ

Wooden ducks is a great idea!!! but decided to go with this b&w version. I think it is a little more tender to the eyes. jano

Thanks all for commenting. The snow is distracting and it is so damb bright here :) I'll try a crop or perhaps have some time to try another go at this. I'm also working on a b&w on another for variation. It's currently -18 degrees here so I'm babying my cam and keeping it warm for the time being lol What I need is a pet parrot!!! jano

Extreme range grabs attention which settles down into enjoying the fine details of the feather. Difficult composition seems balanced with tension. It grows.. -tv

I like the snow . . . even though the highlight is blown. I also like the composition here. Maybe add some tones to the snow to pull the highlights back. I dunno. -- Bruce

Jano, I agree with CJ that cropping off some of that white snowy area would improve the image. The detail of the feather is very nice against the OOF background. --Mary Anne

Love the feather Jano but did you think about cropping this square, eliminating the white snow on the left and cropping down a little on the top? This will move the feather over more to a thirds area and uses the vein as a leading line along with the feeder in the b/g. All that bright white snow seems to draw the eye away from the details of the darker feather. Just a thought! :-) CJ

interesting..... Penny Street

Great idea for a picy Jano. I'm finding the white snow around the fevver a problem to look at, maybe it's too white & stark. Well done anyhow:-)
