Classical view, that background colour works very well.

A different look, with the hood swept back- very nice image, Axel.( Most merganser photos seem to be on water, so yours is somewhat unique).

Great that you notice it had captured it creating an excellent image. Seen them today seven of them but they don't trust people
and swim away.

He looks very sleek with his hood down for streamlined flight. Like the water droplets too. Nice one!

Brilliant capture, Axel, spot on focus and action...the water droplets really are the icing on the cake!
