It sure is! I really like it. Good eye.
This is a nice photograph, but with all due respect, it could be a lot nicer.
First, its a little soft on the bottom. some better use of tilt could fix that.
Second, its very flat. Perhaps wait and see how the sun moves over the scene and try to pick a time when its not so flat.

"WOW! Now thats a big camera. By the way, how many megapixels is that thing?"
Sometimes I reckon it's ok to let a photograph go the way it wants to go. This photograph has deep shadows and gleaming white wood in brilliant sunshine. I could have metered the whites and the shadows and controlled the zones by giving N-2 development but the result might be mild rather than wild. The top highlights are nearly paper base white but the photograph is small and these areas seem to read right.
