Not really. While there is nothing that would prevent a composite volcano from developing under an area where a pond happens to be, there is no pond big enough to contain a composite volcano.

Is there composite volcano looks short and flat?

Generally a flat-looking volcano would be a shield volcano, but it is possible for a composite volcano to become shorter. During a particularly large eruption a composite volcano can collapse to form a bowl-shaped depression called a caldera. Examples include Mount Tambora and Mount Mazama. There are also complex volcanoes, which show characteristics of multiple volcano types and often have multiple vents. The island of Tenerife is such an example, as it is a shield that has several composite cones and cinder cones on it.
