White Spray
Won the White…White…White Challenge in the group “You’re Accepted” in August 2009
Won the THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TAIL FEATHERS Challenge in the group “I love Birds” in May 2009
The White Peacock, contrary to popular belief is not an albino, because its eyes are blue, not pink. The white is a color mutation, and although it can carry other genes, such as the blackshoulder and white-eyed, they are not visible because of its completely white color. Males are, as their name implies, completely white. Faint eyespots can be distinguished in the train by a thin layer of off white that surrounds the ocelli. The actual seeing eyes of the birds are blue.It is speculated there may be a few white peafowl bred naturally in India. White was one of the first variations to be discovered and made popular, and has been around for many years.
This was taken in the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden, Bogotá, Colombia.

Just beautiful
Paul Scarsella
amazing – never seen one of those!
David George
Absolutely wonderful shot. Love the comp of the shot. Not too much, not too little.
Blair Wainman replied
Thanks for your feedback. This is what I want to hear. Although much of composition is subjective (what the viewer wants to see), there are subtle principles of composition that are immutable and this is what I am wanting to learn.
David George
You are welcome, alot of people would have tried for the full size of the tail and made the bird too small or would have used the full width of the tail and that would have shortened the large tail in the center. That part being a signal to females is the most dominate and makes the bird look bigger, need the great height of the center for the photo to work for me. I like it alot
Al Bourassa
Spectacular bird. Great angle on the shot.

Wonderful title for a really interesting image. I would also have thought that this is an “albino” and am glad to know otherwise now. Such an elegant bird! Those tail feathers really so look like a spraying fountain :o)

Congratulations on winning the challenge with this great and awesome capture. I read what you have said about it never having been featured …............ has happened to me 4 times and still NO features so don’t hold your breath. I don’t understand how this works but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. LOL
Blair Wainman replied
Thanks Sandra!! Doesn’t motivate one to enter their contests…really what’s the point!! But this is the first time that this has happened to me…it’s so funny too, because this one has been viewed the most and favorited the most and purchased but never featured!! So ironic!! I don’t think I’ll enter any more of their challenges!! Take care!!
