Nice calling pose, I would take a bunch off the bottom....

I like the details, exposure, extreme low angle...but I agree with Dan about taking some off the bottom (probably a good 30-40% of it).

Thanks Dan & Daniel for a valuable note. I agree, I took off some from the bottom and a bit from left and right:
