Abstract August 20

The cormorant is a black bird as far as I am concerned, but when up close, it is amazing to see how brown the feathers are, just edged with black.

This one was hanging out with the swans and ducks along the river last week.
Excellent processing! Love this too!

At first I thought this was carved wood. Well done on the processing Helen.

Fab processing and I agree with Ann, it does have a look of carved wood

@domenicododaro most pleased to receive your approval!
@flowerfairyann I think it looks like a pine cone or wood, yes. thank you for your comment.
@suzanne234 would take a lot of patience to carve wood this way. It reminded me of a pine cone too - as I said to Ann. Thanks for the comment.
@moonmtn thanks Kahsia.
@taffy the way feathers arrange themselves into overlapping and repeating patterns are always attractive. Thanks for all your support which is really appreciated.
@cruiser thank you so much Chris.

@lovingandsharing thank you Kay. So much more in brown tones than I ever imagined.

If you hadn't told, I would not have known what I was looking at. I like the result.

Absolutely wonderful image! I am always impressed with your quiet perseverance in pursuing these photos. I have this image of you as a detective sleuthing around for the next shot. Much more intentional than my "Oh! There's a squirrel!" method.

They look more like scales than feather. Very interesting

Nice abstract.

@toinette Marie, I think I might just be running out of ideas soon, at least, in my own environment. Take me to a big city, and I will be well away!
@evalieutionspics you are too kind. I sometimes acquire a strange determination to complete things - even when they are not worthwhile!
@helenm2016 I agree Helen, they do. I think they have a slightly unusual shape for a feather. But I didn't change the shape!
@haskar thanks.

Fabulous processing ... I am always photographing feathers but usually don't process....I think I will thanks to your inspiration !
