The image features a single, vividly colored feather that appears to be lying on a smooth, light-colored surface. The feather's quill, or shaft, at the base is predominantly a deep, rich blue, gradually transitioning into purples and pinks as it moves outward. The lower part of the feather, or the afterfeather, is full of fine, soft barbs that are colored in a spectrum of warm hues including vivid pinks, light purples, and oranges, giving it a delicate, wispy appearance.

As the feather extends upwards, the central vein (rachis) continues to change color, blending from the purple into a gradient of teal and bright cyan before becoming a deep black towards the pointed tip. The vane of the feather is broad and showcases a broad range of colors, with the upper portion of the feather highlighted by a striking combination of dark blacks and vibrant blues. The section near the quill also displays hints of green, which transitions into a lighter and more brilliant teal.

The overall shape of the feather is long and slender, with the barbs smoothly tapering off towards both ends. The intricate details of the feather's structure, with its delicate barbs and smooth gradients of color, create a striking and visually captivating effect. The feather's positioning on the plain, light-colored background helps to emphasize its vivid colors and intricate details, making it the focal point of the image.
