Taken at Pelican Point on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. This image is as shot, NO digital manipulation needed. I was able to slowly move to my right without disturbing the pelican, so that I could get the fish shed's menu for that day into the shot.

A compact CanonG9, which travels the world with me. A bit dated now, but it's has a good telephoto range for such a small cameraInspiration
Clearly it is humorous! The pelican is perfectly lined up with the 'catches of the day' list from the local fish seller, and It looks as though it is choosing something to eat. Hence my title 'Now what do I fancy for lunch?'Editing
It looks like a 'cut and paste' job - but it isn't! The only real post-production work was to straighten the verticals, as it was a very quick 'grab shot'In my camera bag
Sony A850 with a selection of Minolta lenses depending on the project. I usually rely on a 28-105mm lens, with a f1.8 50mm lens for low light shots. My Canon G9 goes everywhere with me. Currently, I am testing the camera in the Huawei P9 which from the initial results is producing stunningly sharp images.Feedback
A big slice of luck, quick reactions - no time to dither, or the opportunity is lost!
