Neat shot. I might try a bit of sharpening and levels adjustment just to see what I could improve.

Great shot! I think a bit of contrastwould punch it out a bit more. Great pic regardless, well done!

These are all thing that I have done to the image already.

Levels and Curves adjustment to ensure full range of tones and a contrasty image. Channel Mixer to convert to B&W. Resized for web and then sharpened using PK sharpener.

I just tweaked the levels up a bit and added a slight tone with an action called photo toner.
And smidge on the sharpness .
The action is adjustable for the amount of tone . Available here and free.
