I was at work today and noticed this white robin feeding with a group of robins. I was able to snap off a few quick photos before I had to move on. The background sucks, and the photo didn't turn out 100%, but I did what I could in PS. Highlight/Shadow, Levels, Curves and a little Selective Color to try and bring out some detail in the whites, but not much luck. Sharpened with Smart Sharpening at 100%.
Some internet research shows that this variation is about a 1 in 30,000 chance of cropping up. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to see one, let alone create an image of it.
