Leucistic American Coot portrait
This capture was made last week in the L.A. area of CA at high noon, hence the harsh light. I thought this guy was some real rare bird from a distance but still a cool critter IMO! PP'ed and cropped vertical with ACR and CS3, cloned a few crumbs off the bird at the dirty water line, selectively sharpened and NR with USM and Noiseware Pro. C&C welcome.
