Description
Ofu Island, The National Park of American Samoa.Credit Hemingway for the title. I'm not sure if the old man of the sea ever made it to the South Pacific, but I'm sure he would have really enjoyed the Manua islands here in American Samoa. These are some of the most magnificent islands in the world and they are way off the radar of most travelers and photographers.
The owners of our island lodge have only seen one tourist since we left there in early October! It's a remote and wild South Pacific paradise you can have all to yourself...

Excellent capture Michael. I've had to put off getting an underwater housing until I get the 5D Mark II, it's just wiser if I get it for that instead of getting one now for my 40D and then having to sell it when I go full frame.

wonderful work.. very nice to see a "half and half" shot which has a bit of movement to it, rather than a flat divide.. I love the use of focus and dof too, beautiful!
