Floating Feather

I was standing on a lake shore hoping the Osprey would dive for a fish when this feather came floating by.  I think it is a Canada Goose feather but I am not certain.  I like the texture provided by the rocky bottom, the reflection, and the patch of blue to break up the color.  Comments and critique always appreciated.

I like this a lot, Ralph. The details in the feather and the textures come across really well. This has a peaceful mood to it.

Congratulations on the EP!
