Thanks for the comments, guys.
I'm a bit torn on the dead tree. When I took the shot I hadn't thought much about it, but sort of bugs me as it stands out pretty strongly against the green and black of the trees. But I also feel like it's a good size comparison to the rider, for you notice that the tree is as wide as he is.
Copy Kot- Not harsh at all. That's exactly why I posted it. I hadn't noticed the high vantage point. On the upside of it though, if it were taken from a lower point, the rider would appear larger. My favorite thing about this shot is how grand the trees appear compared to the person.
