Stirling underwater photographer Elaine Whiteford is celebrating success in the 2021 Scottish Nature Photography Awards.
Her image of a long-clawed squat lobster taken in Loch Fyne was awarded second place in the Environmental category and another of her images was shortlisted in the Wildlife Portrait category.
Elaine, from Gargunnock, said: “I’m absolutely delighted that the photograph of the squat lobster has been placed by the judges. I’m very lucky to be able to photograph some amazing creatures underwater so close to home.”
