Description
I thought this was an Albino Peacock but have been informed otherwise recently. More recently, I saw on another member's profile that this is called "Leucistic" meaning mostly white, but with some mild poigmentation, especially the eyes. An Albino would have pink eyes. Live and learn! Even so, it is a magnificent show of pure white plumage as he struts and dances for his beloved Peahen (who was about as disinterested and aloof as she could be!!) This image has won 2nd place in the FAA contest WHITE, and was voted Digital Nature Image of the Year (2011) in South Shore Camera Club of Quincy, MA. It was my 1st entry as a club competition newbie! Ask me what it took to get this shot!

Lori, this is magical, looks like radiating fine lacework until you look closely and see Peacock. Wonderful seeing and vision with perfect placement of the bird. Wonderfully done.
