Very nice though gotta agree on the nose plug,eye is drawn right to it... but not your fault... great shot! Really like how the water appears "bunched up" around him.... Lets see some more.
Great shot Dan! I also noticed the nose plug right away, but I like it. I think it adds interest to the activity or story. Is he going to need it if he continues going under?
As for the nose plugs, most playboating kayakers, myself included, consider them mandatory, assuming you want normal working sinus tissues afterwards. Playboaters typically are upside down almost as often we are upright and river water isn't the cleanest water in the world even if it looks clear. Even using noseplugs, I have chronic sinus congestion from May through Sept. Back when I was just running rivers and surfing a few waves, I never wore them. Now I wear them constantly because the playboating has made me predisposed to sinus problems and just 1 roll is enough to make me talk funny.

That nose plug is slightly distracting, though.
