I'm very much an amateur (just started to get into "real" film photography at the end of last summer), so my opinion shouldn't carry much weight...but the one thing I noticed initally is that it looks very flat and underexposed perhaps?
Maybe that was your intention, but as I struggled through my early beginner stages (and even now when I misjudge exposure), I found that quite a few of my shots came out very flat like this - lacking in color saturation, and contrast more importantly...so it caught my attention immediately as I'm so used to seeing so many of my own scans looking like this. :)
Open the image in photoshop and apply an 'auto levels' to it and you'll see what I mean. I usually don't rely on auto levels (prefer tweaking the levels manually), but you'll see how much it POPS with the auto levels..
Otherwise, great capture....though my roots are in skateBOARDING so grrrrrr... ;)
