Beautifully executed shot. My only nit-pick is that the tonal range isn't quite wide enough in my opinion; not so much a "dark" image, but more that it is missing some highlights. Sorry that I am probably not communicating this well.
This is my second go around =) - Very nice! I would have liked to see some more highlights, or bright whites because it looks a little flat. However, I still think you did an excellent job and great choice of location!
I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

Good shot. Good POV also. I think if you would have shot this straight on then it would have ruined it. You have chosen a good subject and good framing. Bumping Up
