    Really unusual shot, Joe!

    Looking at his tongue, it seems as if he's trying to get something unpleasant out of his mouth. His eyes are large, and his crest is raised. He's saying. 'Yeeuuck!'

    That contrasts so much with the calm over the rest of his body. It remains stationary, with the globules of water resting undisturbed on his back.

    He could very well have swallowed something unpleasant as he had just surfaced. ( i was hoping he had a fish)
