Description

The last of my Avian series, the feather I've been working on is apparently a semiplume. I'm informed that semiplumes are found between other feathers, providing an additional layer of warmth and helping to maintain the smooth, streamlined shape of the bird. You learn something new every day. I must say it has felt strange putting somewhat similar images from the same subject on day to day. Many thanks for viewing and/or commenting on my work.

Similar images from the same subject..yes. But each is its own and in its own space. This works very well for my eyes and the artistry of you, presenting some of the artistry of nature..is well done.

Having a series of similar images on one subject isn't strange at all. When folks comment on one of them, you just say, "Oh - the semiplume? Glad you liked it! It's from my avian series." And a beautiful series it is! I liked this one so well I went and looked at the other ones. You did a great job, and the next time you have more than one thing to say about a subject, I hope you'll do another series! :) Great work!

I like this. Whimsical and detailed and the dark background really pops out the delicacy.

It's incredible how the semiplume are esthetical. A fantastic Natural fractal that give a sense of lightness and elegance. I really love this serie, and all your extreme Macros. Your work is an inspiration for me. Thank you for all these emotions.
