What an interesting shot, on the one hand it is soft and fluffy and the other hard and sharp. I am not completely sold on the processing, the blue seems a bit out of context, oversaturated and (forgive me for saying this) a bit dark. I also might have tightened the crop just a tad, but that is my personal preference. Very nice capture, I am just being nit picky because I like the shot.

This is a great subject, the capture and treatment does not do justice... The lighting/treatment makes the main subject had to see and thus loses impact. Maybe move around more to the right so we can see the area of the feather that is lit...

Great contrast between soft and dark. I love the simple composition and the way that the "soft" stands out.

the compositon, soft and hard fix really well together

Is this hard or soft?
