White on white

@Daroru: Cheers mate. This isn't the sharpest photo I've ever taken but I only had limited time to get a few shots before the bird flew away. As it was in Japan, the winged beasts usually give onlookers armed with cameras four to five seconds prior to departure.

@Bron: Thanks Bron. I'm not familiar with Shay's work but I'm a fan of bird life and water so it's probably up my alley. Thanks for dropping in and leaving a comment. :)

@Stu: Yep. This has been a tough image for me coz I love it so much, yet it's so crap in its original form (lack of light, wrong settings [oi woz still very much the novice back when this was taken], excessively grainy, pixelation).

This version has been revamped and smacked into line so that it's subtle yet striking. Thanks for the positive feedback mate. I wasn't sure whether the uber treatment would be a hit with the peeps. :)

@amy: Shit, Amy! I didn't see this comment o' yours until now. I'm so happy that you like this as it's about the extent of my pp skills (although my pee-pee skills are a wee bit better). Thanks very much for the kind words here. :)
