SEA LIFE and greenery in one shot show nature at its very best. With the stunning aqua blue colours and crystal clear waters, you could be mistaken into thinking these photographs had been digitally enhanced. But they are in fact the work of New Zealand photographer Chris Mclennan, when he decided to explore what lay beneath the surface in the Bora Bora Lagoon, France. Chris, 49, was able to capture these images whilst snorkelling in the pure waters
