167 (6) (WS) Subtle Tension

I had a bit of rare time to try an experiment for Macro Mondays yesterday. The theme is 'Reflection.' Not sure the reflection here is good enough, so I probably won't use this shot, but I had so much fun, I couldn't resist uploading one ahead of time...

 

(Well, I decided this one was the best of the lot. Feather is just under or just over 2" in it's curled state, depending on how 'loose' the tips are in the breeze etc., which makes this frame barely in the 3" limit. If the moderators want me to crop it more, or upload another, I will comply....).

 

I sprayed the hood of our vehicle with water, stuck the feather on, hoping to get a clear shot and it wouldn't fly away in the slight afternoon breeze. It was wonderful to see how the image changed depending where one was in the light, the POV and where on the hood it was, as sometimes the reflection of nearby trees added some different colour.

 

Please don't use this image on websites, blogs, etc. without my permission.
