For the photo discussion

I was spending some time today learning to use Adobe Bridge, and in the process I happened to run this image through Photoshop. I am starting a new thread simply because the old one was getting long.
This was taken back in June of 2008 when I was still using my first digital camera, a 6 MP Nikon D40. Almost anything you buy today has more pixels. The original raw file is only 5.91 MB and that has been cropped to about one third of the original area. Moreover, the sun was almost directly head-on and the drivers and rods were all in the shadow so I had to use the shadow/highlight tool to bring them out.
To my uncritical eye, this image looks to be technically pretty good. I thought this would be an interesting starting point to discuss why more pixels and FX instead of DX might be better. I'm wondering if those with a more critical eye might see issues with the image that I am over looking.
