题目内容

 

       This award winning image shows the extraordinary moment when a lemon shark stared into a lens(镜头)with an obvious cheeky grin(露齿的笑). Showing a close-up of a lemon shark’s face on the surface at sunset, it was recently selected from more than 20,000 photos as winner of the Oceans division of the international Nature’s Best Photography 2008 Windland Smith Rice Awards.

       Amateur photographer Bruce Yates, snapped the named “Cheshire Cat Grin”(露齿笑的柠檬鲨) photograph in July last year in the Bahamas. 54-year-old Mr Yates, from Seattle, said, “My wife and I were on a boat trip to see and dive with sharks in the northwest part of the Bahamas, in an expansive area many miles from land with relatively shallow water.”

       “The shark was roughly eight feet long and only a few inches from my camera.” describes Bruce, “However, I was not actually in the water for that photo ― it was taken when I was sitting on the boat, holding my camera partly in water. Dozens of lemon sharks were around the boat competing for small bits of fish. The sunset is visible in the background.”

       “Although this particular photo makes it look like the shark is smiling, it is really just closing its mouth after trying to grab a bit of fish. It is an expression that I have never seen on a shark before, and I doubt whether I could get that shot again if I tried for the rest of my life.”

       The lemon shark inhabits inshore waters from around America, Brazil, the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico and other areas in the Atlantic. Despite their large teeth, they represent a small threat to humans with only 10 causeless attacks recorded and no deaths.

       Bruce, who owns an investment management firm, first got into photography 15 years ago when he undertook a scuba diving course, and his passion for nature photography has led him to many remote parts of the world, from the Arctic Circle to the coral reefs of Indonesia.

A. the photo of “Cheshire Cat Grin” was taken in the morning
