Trying to photograph a Scaup, we instead photographed this ring-necked duck. The two species are similar and easy to confuse in the field. However this photograph has a nice background and has tremendous detail, it makes a great large print.

You can zoom in on this image to see the detail in the full image, however this is highly compressed and the original has better contrast and sharpness.
