HI everyone, I am new, and I am just going to jump in here and post one of my recent ones.
Any constructive criticism is highly appreciated!

Hi,
I feel the contrast of textures in this photo. I hope the photo would be a bit sharper.

Hello!

I agree the contrast is good, can you sharpen it a bit?

BTW...Love the B&W!

Thanks for the input, yoyo and CB Photo.
The picture was taken with a very long macro-lense on SRL, hence the focus area is very small. If you look into the middle of the feather, you will see a crispy sharp area along the stem.
I have a bigger version, which looks better sharpen-wise. But for some reasons I don't want to post it bigger.
Maybe the scanner got the sharpening slightly blurred to?
