Default Smiling Gator Tree

Okay, I need a little help with this shot. The subject is kind of out there and I'm really not sure if it can hold anyones interest on its own. Could I have done anything different on the composition? I tryed a few different angles, but I thought this was the best. Any Tips would be appreciated. Thanks John

Camera Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd
Exposure 0.02 sec (1/50)

No disrespect intended. It does look like a water buffalo stooping to drink though? Good exposure!

I also think it looks more like a water buffalo. With an owl on his neck! You might use a looser crop to give it room to "breathe" and clone out some of those distracting leaves on the left.
