cool idea and subject for this kind of ICM. It seems to be floating to earth still. A tiny bit over exposed maybe? But that’s just me.

Thanks @Kris_Smith for looking and your feedback. I had brought the exposure down a bit, but maybe not enough… the grasses around it were almost white, so not sure if that’s what you’re referring to or not…
Very nice.
I’m intrigued by the arching lines of color emanating from the bars of the feather. It’s decidedly a perfect subject for motion.
I agree with @Kris_Smith that the exposure could be decreased for richer color. At first, I was going to suggest more contrast, but no, the soft arching lines are better left alone.

Hi @paul_g_wiegman thanks for looking and your feedback, I adjusted exposure and did a little more tweaking, I’m curious what you and @Kris_Smith might think of it now?!
Much better. The technique and twist are more manifest.

I think you got it with the repost, Vanessa. FWIW, dialing back the exposure looks much better to my eye. The rotation of the camera has created some nice effects with the hawk feather. Way to think outside the box on this one.
