Great action sequence Lance, where off Sydney was this?
Looks like a Luderick (Blackfish), we used to call them by another name that's not kosher anymore.
Thank you very much, Marc. Much appreciated!
It is off Long Reef point. And yes, it is Luderick and we also called them Blackfish. :giggle:

Very nice series Lance 👏👍
 
Hey Lance very nice shots. Sharp with good details and excellent action. I have a small concern about the color and tones in the 4th photo. The osprey and gull seem to be carrying a more yellow in their plumage than I would expect while the rest of the images looks so cool. The yellow is evident in the darks of the osprey and the underwing flight feathers of the Silver Gull. In addition the dark streaking of the osprey looks too light to me. Where as the darks in the 5th photo are not carrying any of that yellow and they are clearly deeper and richer in tone. Minor critique for an otherwise excellent series.
 
Fantastic series: Well done!! (y)(y)(y)
Thank you very much, Isaac. Much appreciated!

Thank you for your feedback. I am not seeing much of a difference on my calibrated screen, they look fine to me. However, the last flight shot is of them flying towards the afternoon light which would have a warmer tone.
