Another underwater picture. There are more impressive shots of the same subject, with a gaping bright yellow mouth. In spite of this and of the imperfect composition, I really like the expression in this one.

Love it! And I don't even like underwater/marine pictures.

Great expression, he looks pretty crotchety, and cross-eyed to boot. Composition is a little centered, you might consider cropping a bit.

I like the way you've caught the expression with that straight-on shot. I agree with cropping, that bright upper right corner is distracting.
