Gathering dust

Stunning when viewed close up.

Thank you, Esther, especially for viewing close-up.

So, it was doing what it is supposed to =D Well taken shot =)

It was, Sami. The duster has now been relegated to the recycling bin. TSC is a wonderful way to dispose of unwanted objects. ;-)

Totally beautiful

Many thanks, Janano.

Of course it was gathering dust in the loft, I mean that's what feather dusters are supposed to do isn't it - lol! ;)

Seriously, a lovely shot as is the one in the Notes too! :)

By the time I'd finished taking about 7 photos of the feathers, there were bits of feather all over the carpet, Paul. The whole thing is now destined for the relegation zone. ;-)

Beautiful close up, also the PiP!

Thank you, Dida. The duster created lots of bits of feathers. I think I prefer dust!

sie sieht aber gar nicht mehr staubig aus ;-);
sehr schöne Federn!

In the shaking of the dust off these feathers, I was creating lots of mess - there were bits of broken feather everywhere, Christel. Alas this feather duster has been cosigned to the recycling. box.

Great idea for a shot...............and very nicely done Amelia. Have a gold star..!!

I'll take your gold star and use it for the top of the Christmas tree in 2017, Keth. Thank you. ;-)

Amelia, large and on black really makes the details you have captured really standout. Wonderful presentation. :)

many thanks, Chris. before i started I didn't realise what a mess I'd make of the carpet. The Sunday Challenge certainly keeps me going on a dreary Sunday. ;-)

Excellent detailed closeup for both shots! Beautifully done!

Thank you, Sasi. These feathers are now consigned to the recycling box.

wunderschöne feine Details

Many thanks, Chrissy. . I am delighted that ou liked the details on this now defunct feather duster.

Wow, you really owned a feather duster? I heard of the things but have never seen one until now:-) Both photos have such lovely details!
Your decription of the bits of feather on the carpet reminds me of the fox stole I inherited- hairs all over the place;-)

I did own a feather duster, Gudrun, and it was useful for dusting round delicate objects without having to move them. Pure laziness really!
My mother and aunts all had animal fur collars complete with claws, which they wore at weddings. Both my grannies work them on Sundays when they went to church. Rather macabre really. ;-)

Mine doesn't have claws but the head of the fox with glass eyes, it fastens at the mouth;-) These days feather dusters are synthetic, I have a gaudliy coloured one and as you say, it's lazy;-)

This is really beautiful with all the little details. Beautifully done.

Thank you, Harriet. The feathers are now totally inadequate foe gathering dust, and made a huge mess on the carpet. ;-).

Ha ha...how ironic Amelia! I thought it was a feather from an expensive boa ;-)

if only I had the occasion to wear a feather boa, Rosa, or even a posh frock to go with it. Those days are gone now, along with this old feather duster. ;-)

wow, what a magnificent close up, I love it Amelia.

Thank you, Wendi. Feathers were difficult to find outdoors at the moment.

what a glorious image and beautifully done macro, love the near mononess of it

Many thanks, Stoker. This old feather duster has now been consigned to the recycling bin.

Good detail.

Thank you, Pappy. I found TSC quite difficult this week.

Love the BW-detailing and the composition

Many thanks for your compliment, Diederik. I don't make a habit of taking photos of feather dusters. ;-)

Fine detail

Thank you, Gillian. TSC certainly makes one think.
