I'd have to agree with what people are saying about not drawing individual
feathers (for the most part) but scales are often  quite apparent from a
distance.  And if the drawing is a close up, then scale details are
especially important.  While the overall picture shouldn't sacrificed for
the detail, the overall picture is *made up* of the detail.

Also, I think we are getting into stylistic waters.  Some like detail, some
don't.

My two cents.
