I'd say good. You shot it with good exposure and composition. You can make it better by doing a couple real simple things in just about any photo editor (almost all photos can use a little levels adjustment and every digital photo can use a small amount of sharpening):

1) slight levels adjustment (squeeze in the left and right sides slightly)
2) apply some sharpening (find rutt's tutorial here: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=9541&highlight=rutt+sharpen)

I've attached a revised version with these 2 steps applied.

One other note - your pictures will present better (look sharper) if you can host them and link to them instead of crunching them down to a size that will "attach" here. This also saves DGRIN on bandwidth.

I actually used Photoshop CS but what I did is fully attainable in PSE. Enjoy!
