I captured this guy last week in Northern California. Originally I thought the bird was sick, as it sure looks sick! But the area was covered with ripe blackberries and after looking closely at the bill, I choose to believe he is just drunk and let me crawl very close! Cropped about 15% and PP'ed with NX2 and CS3, NR and sharpening with Noiseware Pro. I cloned out a couple pieces of straw along the bottom edge and URC areas. I left the fly for added interest:p. C&C welcome.
