    Default Leucistic Trumpeter - a different view

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Gary Esman posted a fine flight image of this rare variant. I happened to catch the same individual a couple day later. Just swimming by, but I really thought the light showed his unusual bill and foot coloring well.

    D4 600VR f/6.3 1/1000s ISO 500 Wimberley/Gitzo

    Post: selective sharpening, rotated for leveling, removed another swan from in front of him, mild surface blur to BG

    I may post a close up of the bill to show more detail.

    Advice and comments always appreciated

    Cheers

    Randy

    Very nice shot.
    Terrific swimming pose, I really like that we can see it's foot, exposed very well, and great comp.
    Well done.

    Very nice find... The swan is exposed well and has nice detail in the whites. Like the raised foot too. Well done
