Close-up of a bird feather showing intricate details. The central shaft, or rachis, is dark brown and runs vertically, flanked by delicate white barbs. The barbs are finely structured, creating a pattern of parallel lines with visible barbules, giving the feather a soft, airy texture. The image highlights the feather's lightweight and flexible nature. The background is neutral, enhancing the feather's delicate features. This study emphasizes the unique and complex structure of feathers, essential for bird flight and insulation.
