Gorgeous composition and lighting on the feather Yves. Love how the feather is shimmering. The artist in you should be very proud.

Thanks for the deeply appreciated comments Debra. The artist is very proud indeed. Once in a while Mother Nature train my artistic eye with a simple subject like that. Always a nice moment.
