Taken a few years ago at Fort DeSoto State Park, Florida.
The gull took the crab up about 100 feet and dropped him onto the hard packed sand at the beach.  The gull repeated this several times until the crab broke up - and then the gull had his lunch.

Perfect exposure for the plumage and light, Jake. Exquisite detail when clicked on for the uncompressed view. Excellent shot!
