Muddy Ruddy

Captured this cute Ruddy Duck at Bosque just after a dive. I thought the mud on his bill was very cute. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2017) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

The mud on the tip of the bill is just priceless, Jerry. Well seen.

Looks like a cross between a duck and an elephant...

Good work on the whites, Jerry. We have some of them here as introduced species, and I always struggle with the whites. You managed very well. Nice colors in the BG as a bonus ! Cheers, Hans
