Description
Flight feathers are stiffened so as to work against the air in the downstroke but yield in other directions. It has been observed that the orientation pattern of B-keratin fibers in the feathers of flying birds differs from that in flightless birds: the fibers are better aligned in the middle of the feather and less aligned towards the tips.
This photo is enhanced with Photoshop filters and textures. It belongs to a series, but it makes a nice statement by itself.

Hi Randi - Your wonderful 'Feather 'Series, has something understated, delicate, ephemeral, and transitory about it, very nicely thought through - Chris
