Something suggests to me that taking this from a squatting position would have made composition a tad more pleasing, given the subject you chose. It's only a feeling I get from this...
I took the image into PS and darkened it a bit, and I actually like it brighter the way it's displayed here. Which is strange as I tend to like darker images. I almost always darken mine, and have even started shooting a lot at -0.5.
