Herring Gull & Humpback Whale (Larus argentatus and Megaptera novaeangliae)

I posted this previously in my gallery but decided to repost it for contest entry.
Took this on whale watch out of Gloucester, Ma.
The whales were feeding and the gulls would come in for the leftovers. The gulls would even land on the whales big mouths as if they were just big rocks!!
It was really fantastic to watch.
