Still trying with these Warblers hard little devils to get, not sure if the gorse in the background spoils the image.

Cracking shot Karen.
Lovely sharpness and detail.The yellow is in all 3 components of the image and so the gorse doesn't bother me at all.

Another very good and effective image Karen.

BKGR is perfect for the bird and I like the open beak.

Cheers

One of the best WW shots I have seen in a long time, Karen. Can't understand why this has only 13 comments :confused:

It just doesn't get any better than this. I've no problem whatever with the gorse.

Don't find the gorse distracting at all and the mid-song pose is great. Overall a very well excecuted image.
