Manzanita, I should probably avoid taking this pictures since I never get as much joy from the picture as I do from looking at the wall. One of these days I'll get this right.
Don't beat yourself up, even the best picture can only ever be a reminder, not a substitute. But maybe leave it to a bit later in the day, shadows permitting? I'm thinking it might be worthwhile to see what you could get from it during "the golden hour" which should harvest some more "form" from the lower angle of the light.
