A shot like this seems to be extremely common within this community. For some reason or another, everyone seems to be taking photos of shiny objects on feathers. So when you do something which you know has been done before many times, it is important to ask yourself 'What do I want?'. I noticed several other photos in your gallery that have similar subjects and also similar titles. So if this is a project including feathers, beads and Greek legends, it may be good to explain a bit about it. Because to me, the image does not speak as clearly as the title might suggest.
Creating a series of photos with a classical theme is a noble goal, however, I do think it may be good to try a bit harder to come up with something refreshing, less of a cliché.
Technically, there is nothing wrong with this photo. It even has a certain beauty to it. But since the subject is so overdone, it really cannot hold my interest. The crumbs are a nice addition though. I do think you can make a refreshing series of still-life photographs based on Greek myths. You just need to dig a bit deeper <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />
