In fact my only real gripe about this shot is the far background. It looks like this was shot near or under a bridge or something...definitely some kind of man-made concrete there in the background that's really out of place with the rest of it IMHO. In other words, it's a good attempt and technically you did well, but I would pay more attention to the composition and the background next time.

However, for a more interesting picture, I would crop out the concrete at the top and let people see only the natural part. Bob
