Laughing Gull With Puffer Fish
I captured this image at Ft. Desoto County Park in Pinellas County, Florida. Not sure the fate of the bird because Puffer Fish here can be poisonous. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Nice to see the gull view a puffer fish. Like the crop and the faint clouds in the background. The pancake pose works pretty well.
This fish is great, but the overhead angle and general lack of sharpness/detail - particularly on the underwings - limit the effectiveness of this image. I agree the background is excellent.
