Flying underwater...

... looking for some food...

To answer a few questions about this picture, I'll have to transform myself in a tourist agent and tell you about the Biodome of Montreal which is a fantastic simulation of 5 ecosystems, including St-Lawrence Marine ecosystem that can be seen also from underwater with their access to a giant aquarium where you can see many species of fish and even (less frequent) birds that go underwater to get some food. I have to say it's in very difficult conditions, because the light is very low under water, the birds are not frequent and when they are, they move very fast, add to that that you can't use a tripod nor flash, that the birds are black and white (a nightmare for a photograph) and you have to take the picture through dirty windows, with reflections and a lot of people in front of you ;-)) So, I'm very happy about this one !!
