A fine shot of this fascinating and unique looking species, Axel. A must click for the well captured finer details in the blacks.

One of the best Black Scoter pictures I have seen so far. The details are amazing. I have never seen one so close.

Excellent image, Axel- another species that we don't see featured here on Naturescapes generally, so a great find.
