I think that's fine but here are my thoughts on making it better.

I find the texture of the background distracting and wish it were more uniform.
But I suspect that's a tradeoff with bring out the relief.

I wish the lighting were more even but that would show less if the shadow on the right weren't so obvious to me.

Nice detail, shows even better with a little tweak

Bill,

Thanks for the input. Your point about the background is well taken. The lighting is a single diffuse source at 45 degrees about 10 o'clock. This seemed to be the best balance of illumination vs relief. I tried multiple sources, point sources, ring and axial lighting. All gave different results. Ring and axial just simply obliterated any relief so I abandoned those quickly.
