Ring-billed Gull enjoying a coconut on the beach in Daytona.

Scanned a slide (!) for this one. Subject's odd position made for a tricky crop - settled for a semi-panoramic leaving a little room in front of the head. (Other ideas will be most appreciated.)

Kevin, good Motif shot. A tad tight at the tail and a little grainy from the scan, but a great behavior shot.

A funny caption.

Agree with Alan's comments. Nice low angle too.

I love the title. Nice image too, very unusual to see a bird eating a coconut. I like your crop but would give the tail just a bit more room, but I think the pano works extremely well.
