    These ducks are quite scarce in Scotland. So I was more than happy to come across a few of them on Loch Lomond, where this one was showing off to a nearby female.

    Hi William,

    A very niceimage of this extremely colorful bird. I like the slightly open mouthrevealing its teeth’s.
    Fineexposure and background. It may need some more space especially to the left, if available.

    Regards Steen
