  Truer words have not been spoken, WTG Patrick. I take it to be a feather of some sort but then how would I know. Excellent detail, color saturation.

  When I first posted this I told about how I happened to get this photo. I was walking a trail at dusk & saw this feather caught amongst a bunch of dark pine trees & it seemed to glow in the evening light. I stopped to look at it but thought it was too dark to take some shots of it. I was about to continue on my way, but then decided to take just one shot for an experiment. It looked really beautiful on the screen so I just started shooting & got caught up in the moment & took about 100 shots .It seemed like a mogical moment for me like I was in a world of my own-hence, the title.

You have a special gift of seeing the beauty in all things and your artwork can be compared to that of many of the legendary artist of our time. Your work brings beauty and it is a constant amazement to us that have the joy of seeing it. Congratulations my friend.
