Well done... Photographs taken from the "shadow side" are almost always
more dramatic, but it's difficult to get detail in BOTH the dark areas
and in the highlight.

Slight crop, 300mm F4 + 1.4x TC, ISO 200, F4 at 1/60, hand held.
The lighting conditions were odd, with full sun just above the tree line in
a cloudless sky and coming at me from the left which is why the bill looks
like it's glowing. Still, I think the exposure is pretty good.
Comments always welcome.
