Close Up

New Zealand

This is a once a lifetime oppotunity capture of a seagull flying in the sky diving to eat a piece of biscuit held by `mua'. I couldn't possibly had the chance to shoot the picture since I was the one holding the biscuit. Amazing close up. The bird required intense speed to snap up the biscuit from my hands. Several failed attempts nearing my hand but failed to get near enough to take it away - fighting against the wind.
