I'm creating an image which has a character in it with long white wings. Its a winged elf character and I need to do a much better job at texturing the wing feathers.
( http://forum.caligari.com/discus/messages/1584/11148.jpg )

I've done a google and altavista search for images of just single white feathers, eagle feathers, indian feathers, etc.. but I can't seem to find one decent image.

Can anyone point me to an image texture/photo of just one lone complete feather. I'll create the clip/bump maps, but I need a decent photo to start with.

Thanks in advance :)

Google advanced image search for wallpaper-sized pics. Those are the best from 37 pages of results (I'm bored at work):airguitar
