Go on my boys
A pair of Swallow-tailed gulls enjoying themselves with some sea lions in the background. Not a great day, rather overcast but I guess they didn't mind :biggrin:

MKIII (before the fix) 70-200f2.8 1/640 f/9 ISO400 -0.67 hand held

Nice shot on what was obviously a dull day. The dull weather looks to me to have created a faint colour cast, so a slight reduction in the blue may help.

Hi Stevo - Go On My BOY (singular) might be better!!!

Nice action capture and I think the overcast works well - sun's a killer!

A slightly lower PoV might have got rid of the water and the seals in the BG but it's nice to see foreign species and enviroments - you are UKNPN's own Alan Wicker!

'Go On My BOY (singular)' agreed.

'you are UKNPN's own Alan Wicker!' I wish, but it is very kind of you. Perhaps one day :jump:

LOL. The 'boys' appear to be having a good time. A well timed capture.

When I saw the title I thought 'Don't recall seeing like that in Scotland ?' - was relieved to see it was nothing to do with our trip !

Good to see the 70-200 in action ! :toast:

for the uneducated of us, is this from the galapagos isles?

I actually prefer the background as it is, it puts the birds into context.

Needs slightly warming up but no big deal.

Sorry Mike, should have included the location within the intro. Yes it is :wavey:
