Great photo but last I checked they didn't pop their heads out of water, or come onto shore. Other then that, it's a beautiful photo

If they could or not pop their heads out of water or come onto shore, I don't know for sure, scientifically speaking. My photography is just an artistic depiction of this sea reptile.

They gave live birth like whales do, so no need to come ashore to start with.

This model is the outdate depiction of plesiosaurs. Today we know that their neck is mostly stiff and can only bend at the base, making the “swan neck” pose impossible to do. We also know from their anatomy that they are fully aquatic and can’t haul themselves up the shore at all.

Oml I have mentioned this once to a classmate of mine and he said that they can turn their necks, how would they look about or turn around if they couldn’t and I got mad idk why. Just like: YOU FOOLISH CHILD

The one in Loch Ness has been photographed popping its head out of the water.

No, it hasn't. There have not been any credible photographs taken of the Loch Ness monster. Furthermore, if it were a pleseisaur, it would not be able to do the "swan neck," due the rigidity of its neck.
