Hi Cynthia, This is beautiful. I love your rich dark browns! And the way you are capturing the feather texture. I’m seeing that you are observing a high light edge on the right side of the feather, but be careful not to let it look like a uniform outline. Break it up a bit and tone down the value. Also that light line on the right side of the stem (reflective light) should be darker. The reflective light will never be lighter than the high light.

Thanks so much Katy! I appreciate you feedback about the high light on the edge and on the stem.
This is gorgeous! You are in the flow for sure, my friend. Just beautiful.
