Photographed in September but just processed a couple days ago. I find it interesting that being a worm eater, she is feeding on berries.

What a unique and beautiful action pose of the warbler taking the berry, Karl. Love the light and color as well. Excellent work!

A very special pose, very beautiful this detail and this exception that confirms the rule.

Definitely an unusual action. But the colours and the light are excellent. Loved it.

Regards.

Biru.

I really like this wonderful reaching pose-it tells the story and shows how flexible the bird is-how nicely she can reach for food. The open bill adds great color to the scene, which is very harmonious.

The combination of the wonderful pose coupled with the soft light and complimentary colors makes this a terrific image. As someone who shoots a lot of warblers there is no doubt that this action happened in a blink of an eye so great timing as well. Very nice.
