thanks man, sounds like it wouldn't get too much light... but I'll give it a try either way. (by the way I had the image info wrong - corrected)

The exposure will just be longer to compensate for the low ISO. If you have a tripod, why not? Im a n00b too, but this is how i understand it.

Looks nice, but the flag is a little bit distraction, so try and get shots that dont have something that will be moving during the exposer.

I think that the exposure is very good and the picture is very nice (I love symmetrical compositions). IMHO there is nothing to improve in this photograph.
