Its a lovely capture, Im guessing you took it in a shop or at a zoo?
I like your choice of angle, it works well with helping to blur the background and foreground, plus ensuring the Caimen stands out. Your aperture choice worked for this too. I bet you had to get down almost in the water for this ;)

The composition is good, you have almost hit the rule of thirds with your positioning of the Caimen within the frame, although I would like to see slightly more space to the left of its head, which would push its eyes on oner of the thirds lines too making it evening more pleasing.

I am guessing there was harsh over head lighting. The light hitting the top of its head is a bit too harsh for my liking.
I think maybe dialing down the ISO to 400 would reduce the harshness of that light whilst reducing the noise caused by high ISO in the background.

Overall its a good effort.
What do you think?
