Another Happy Accident: Blue on Blue

[best appreciated at full size against black]

The other day while on a photo walk, I discovered a blue jay feather laying on the ground. I brought it home with ideas of putting a droplet of glycerin on it for an interesting shot. I still haven't gotten around to that, but instead, I focused on this feather when testing to make sure our ring flash was working properly before going out on a shoot. Once I got my pictures up on my computer, I was rather surprised that this picture turned out good enough to keep! What a nice surprise!
