King Eider just stepping out of the water and greeted by this Gull which to me looks like he could do some damage to the eider. The eider's aggression made the gull jump away very quickly. After the quick squabble the eider plopped himself down in the sand and began to preen. It was nice to capture.

I thought about rotating the image but it just looked weird to me due to the angle I was shooting at. CC is always appreciated. I also removed a gull from the background as it was a distraction to the image.
