Hi Paul,
The softness at the base of the feather is purely because of the
minute depth of field
shooting at 250mm at f/2, shutter speed was 1/500s, and the top of the
feather is very
sharp indeed (can see individual filaments in the print).
I wanted to produce a slightly surrealistic image, both blurring and
over-exposing
the base of the feather, which I felt highlights the gentle concentric
cirle(s) around
there the feather touches the water.
regards,
Dawid
