Hi Barry
Your composition looks fine and it is quite pleasing to the eye as it is. However I do find the image a little dark and lacking in contrast, I can also see noise in the image which does not really bother me but to try lighten the dark areas would increase the noise and decrease your contrast (still worth a fiddle in photoshop) so I think with the available light you probably did as well as you could expect. Probably some fill flash would have lifted the image.
Hi Barry
I found a good place for these guys when i was last in Calafornia,Very difficult to get near and very fast so you have done well here and certainly have a base to work on
