It's a bit dark, Clarky. Cropping it wouldn't hurt, too.

I was going to crop it a bit more but its not that sharp so i decided to leave it.
I will lighten it up a bit though thanks.

...wide open? I bet it was tricky! Depth of field is tiny so you've done brilliantly to get him as sharp as you have. I use flash and a smaller aperture, my technique is outlined here. Bear in mind my shots have been cropped too.It doesn't rival Dans Hover fly capture, But it sure was tricky to snap him.
Keep it up, looking forward to your next efforts.
