Soft goose feather...

This liitle feather came out of my down jacket the other day, and was left sitting on the sleeve of my fleece! About to throw it away, I thought...BLIPPABLE!!! Oh dear...is this my new addiction!! LOL!

As it turned out, it's beautiful detail proved very blip worthy, only problem being which shot to blip! Not sure if I picked the right one, but loved the detail of this one! Others were less clear, and a tiny bit blurred, yet that seemed to show the feathers softness?!! How do you capture softness??
