Hi Guys,
Sometimes nature can be strange....
This weekend after receiving a call from a friend i found this leucistic Eurasian Coot swimming between his black friends. The animal has been seen at this spot last year so i guess he's allright, but it sure is a strange sight...
Unfortunately i could only shoot from a high POV.....as where i would have preferred a lower angle...Light conditions where also not optimal so i could not go much higher as F8 when perhaps getting the black bird in focus would have been nicer too...
Sometimes we just take what we can get...
Greetings,
Jeroen Stel

Good God - I'd would never have believed it
In the circumstances Jeroen I think the PoV is less of a problem than it would ordinarily be - this has got to be a very saleable image - especially with the OoF 'normal' one in the BG.
