Wow, the Canon 2x must be pretty good to get those details. The photo is excellent Axel, as is your processing. A beautiful clean image.

The setting with the gold-brown colours, is quite striking, and of course the feather is a nice extra captured here, Axel.

Beautiful shot with great light. I like the calm water and the feather.

Great golden light, and a wonderful shot with the feather-makes me wonder what she is thinking about it.
