I am fine with the composition. The eye contact is nice. The low angle enhances the composition. Thanks for sharing.

I know it is not easy, however a slightly lower angle would have helped in avoiding the yellow (probably leaf?) in the background. I find clicking images of mongoose to be difficult as more depth of field is required to get the nose, eyes and the hairs and a higher shutter speed is required to freeze their movements.

Cheers,

I like eyes here. Mine went straight there when I saw this image. I would like some more space at the bottom. Wish you could have avoided the yellow area near its back. Some more space on the right to include the grass in full would have been great.
