Fotospeed Photographer of the Year 2022 - Winning image

On this morning I was actually on my way home, driving back along the round that winds round the northern banks of Loch Art. When I saw the bird sitting so still on the perch in the loch, I couldn’t believe my luck. I thought sure that by the time I had grabbed my camera out of my bag it would be another of those prize-winning shots that got away. I shouldn’t have worried. The Cormorant was in absolutely no hurry. It was like he was waiting to have his portrait taken.
