Day Two Hundred and Forty Seven - Feathers


There's some wonderful crisp detail in the feathers here - though I'm not sure it will make it through the blogger fuzzy mask!

  1. I find the texture of the person's skin as fascinating as the feathers! Great photo. E xx

  2. Yes - Sadly I had to choose what was in focus, skin or feathers - as it's on a long lens I get a very short depth of field (margin of focus). Could be increased with tripod, flash and maybe standing closer with a wider lens, but it wouldn't be the same. I think (but not sure) that I prefer the feathers crisp against a slightly blurred skin.

  3. Takes my breath away, this one. The imperfections in the beads and the hide-like skin and wrinkles are somehow more beautiful than perfection would be.
