Feathers Just Feathers – I was taken by the coloring and detail in the feathers of the male Ruddy Duck. In post-processing, I made the rare decision to crop most of the image out leaving only the side and wing feathers. While the bird is not visible, many people would be able to identify this image as a Ruddy Duck.
