In the Shallows
Mid tide at the natural pool on Ile des Pins, New Caledonia, in the early morning, I had to stand very still to prevent causing ripples with each movement, almost chest deep in the water, I also used a polariser to minimize the reflections of the pine forest, you can see some fish and giant clams, well not so giant as in Palau but as big as a human head, in the waters here. This is a beautiful spot but very busy with people after early morning, and what you see depends on the tide level and the winds, fortunately it was reasonably calm.
