Give Me Wings ...

A somewhat late entry for this week's Sunday Challenge, for which the subject was feather or feathers.

I'm afraid thought that as Judith said although there seem to be feathers all over the place, they're never there when you really want one ... so this is from the archives, but has been worked on specifically for this week's challenge.

It's a macro shot of an interesting badge I spotted on the front of a very old car at a local show. No idea what it is and I don't think I've ever seen one before or since, but I thought it an interesting subject.

Also for Sight and Sound:

Woven Hand with "Iron Feather" ....

Yes, the elongated crop certainly makes for a large image - lol! I'd have preferred a squarer crop Christel, but the subject didn't really lend itself to that in this instance! :)

that's a nice light you've caught on the badge showing off the wear of the years, never seen one like it either . . ..

Thanks for that. As I said to Pam above I must admit that when it comes to Austins I just think of the script logo ... for some reason I'd not registered seeing this version before so thanks for the information! :)

you know what... that's pretty damn cool! It is feathers, just not the traditional bird real stuff. Great shot and thinking 'kinda' outside the box.

Glad you like it Wendi just sorry I had to dip into the archives, but it was either that or continue my absence and I really wanted to play! ;)

Shuttering Yukon has replied to autofantasia ^club

Nice find. It has some similarities with the previous logo of the Dutch Railways.

Glad you like it Diederik. Interesting point about the old Dutch Railways logo ... I had a look for it on Google, but sadly couldn't seem to locate it!:(

You've captured some great detail here Paul and the badge looks great on the dark textured background. I especially like the way the metal has worn over the years.

autofantasia ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Phew, glad you like it Keith ... think I need to stick to only posting photos as opposed to screenshots at least until I'm back to full strength! ;)
