This is an old one but thought it was a good entry for the challenge. Since I have not gotten out to shoot recently it was the best I could come up with and still get in an entry this month. #10441931

I remember this one and I just love it. Always a fan of simple things on a black background. :~) I think it's better than an EP image! #10444408

Just 100% Mike, I have nothing to add. #10445744

Great entry for the challenge. You've captured the detail so well I can almost feel the feather. :) #10445763

Thank you all for the nice comments.

This is one that was originally posted to the club and I believe it has several suggestions incorporated into it including a flip. It is from 2009. I think it holds up well and am pleased you seem to agree.

Just guess it was to simple for the judges to go further Aimee though back then I think only about 30% of the shots got EP instead of the 80+ % that get it now. I think it hit the KISS concept better than any other shot I have so that is why I brought it back from the files. #10445919
