Standing tall

I was up EARLY this morning trying to get sunrise shots. I found this feather yesterday and knew I'd shot it at some point. I've got a busy day ahead (off to get the hubby from the airport now) so I decided to do it right away. I wish I hadn't cut the top off but there's nothing I can do about that now. I found some random Aperture effect which I loved. So... here it is!!
Yes, too bad about the tip, but it is a wonderful effect, the glow is really beautiful on this.

it looks like a sail or flag - very cool

Which effect did you use? Looks really wonderful, I like your idea for the shot.
August 6th, 2012  
I don't mind that you didn't get the tip of the feather. I love the gaps in the feather with that wonderful light. Beautiful shot!
August 6th, 2012  
Beautifully done! Love the backlighting.
August 6th, 2012  
Very nice shot, great idea.

So pretty. Missing tip is okay with me, too!

Missing tip is okay for me too...sounds like a "super secret Indian name..." Little Feather Missing Tip :-). Just makes it look more candid to me...beautiful

@joa I'm really not sure which effect it was at this point but I think it was called "natural". Do you use Aperture??
August 6th, 2012  
Fab shot, its so pretty =) love the back lighting
August 6th, 2012  
@kwind Yes, Aperture is the only photo editing software I have (I haven't much used the freeware people have told me about, it's a slow process...) and I've liked it quite a bit. Even though it's less versatile than PS or the likes. But "natural"? Hmm, I can't seem to recollect that. Must see if I can find it. :)

I love the backlight! Great capture!
August 6th, 2012  
Pretty shot, love the lighting!
August 6th, 2012  
The lighting/ aperature effect is great -- where did you find the app?
August 6th, 2012  
Oh, now I see your comments about the effect -- sorry to re-ask! :)
August 6th, 2012  
@rockinrobyn No worries. It's an effect, not an app. I've only bought a couple. Most of the ones I have are free ones I found on line. I only use aperture and don't have photoshop.
August 6th, 2012  
Unusual shot - love it
August 6th, 2012  
Love the backlighting! I hadn't even noticed the tip. Doesn't bother me at all.
August 6th, 2012  
This is great, love the lighting. :)
August 6th, 2012  
Gorgeous! Lovely color palette
August 7th, 2012  
Love the lighting you captured here. So pretty!
August 7th, 2012  
Very cool. Is it a reflection on the water in the background ?
August 7th, 2012  
@bardejov I don't think so. It was just the sky and clouds reflecting (I think). You wouldn't have believed this SOOC. It was totally overexposed and almost totally white.

Stunning. Fave. Just lovely.
August 7th, 2012  
Beautiful focus and light!
August 7th, 2012

August 7th, 2012

Nicely done!

The light makes this shot so lovely.. Very nice work :)

This is so you.... What is the random aperture effect? Very beautiful light!
August 7th, 2012  
The light on the feather looks beautiful!

Excellent shot. Love the effects of the light behind it.
