Depending on what you trying to say with the composition,if your goal was to show the activitiy surrounding the aquarium then I say..great composition.Just my view.

Think of the frame as having a single subject (even in a landscape a single focus point is needed), and supporting elements. The supporting elements (ex. a musician holding his or her guitar), should add something to the subject. If instead it distracts from the subject, then it should be eliminated from the frame, either in camera (the best way) or cropped out later.

So, I didn't answer your question specifically, but hopefully taught you something you can apply to EVERY frame.

Unfortunately the shot doesn't do much for me either. The foreground is very dark, I think I make a man out in the front on a couch but not sure., there isn't much clarity in the water (which I know isa bugger at the best of times)...

Would love to see wales that close though :)
