Possible infection?

    I started a craft range APA about 10 days ago. Added the hops on Sunday and took a reading today and am about ready to bottle.
    I was going to rack it off into a secondary FB until bottling at the weekend.
    I notice there is some residue floating near the top and not sure if this is just from the hop pellets or a possible infection.
    I've attached some pics if anyone has any suggestions?
    If it is an infection, is there anything to be done to save it or should I just write it off?
    Sample I pulled looks, smells and tastes ok, no off flavours that I can detect.

    Looks normal, and if it tastes fine there's nothing wrong. The only reason to dump a beer, ever, is if you know you don't want to drink it.

    Cool, thanks.
    I've racked it off anyway, will bottle at the weekend and should hopefully have something drinkable in the new year!
