Henk,

I had no idea that we had albine peacoks!

Well spoted. Good definition and register.
Cheers,

Wellington

Hoi Broer,
  contradictio in terminis: "lelijk mooi", dat is de vertaling van de titel! :-)

  Prachtig gevonden, mooie plaat ook, gelukkig geen overbelichting van de heldere (witte) gedeelten. probeer de volgende keer het diafragma zo klein mogelijk te houden mbt de sluitertijd. (f/16 met 1 / 90 was hier beter geweest.
  Anyway a fine posting :-)

A good subject here Henk

Personally I think this shot would be better with a low POV - if you crouched down so that your camera was at the level of the bird's head/eye, so that the magnificent tail was partly "above" the viewer. That would also help eliminate some of the background, which is a little distracting.

Perhaps if you also used a longer focal length and a wider aperture, you would get a shallower field of focus and some blur on that distant background?

Hello Henk
I haven´t neither idea that could exist albine peacoks.
It is really fantastic !
You did a very good shot to show us this rarity.
Excellent exposure control, DOF and focus.
