I like it. 

I do wonder how appreciative the Canon folks would be of the image, given 
that it was taken with two of their finest pieces.

Perhaps you should send it to them with a note along the lines of: "I think 
I'm startin' to get the hang of this here 1Ds MarkII and 24-70L combo. The 
picture is pretty darned arty, don't you think? Say, this rig IS waterproof, 
ain't she?"
