Nice shot! Very sharp, good color saturation and depth of field. No distractions and subject matter not stealing too much from its environment. Great job!
RE: Data provided from this photo by C. Freericks: Nice to see digital photography has greatly simplified things....NOT! So, exactly what is the difference between Shutter Speed Value and Exposure Time? Why is there a difference? How significant is 1/50th of a second over 1/60th?
As far as bracketing goes, I agree with what Charles stated. The only input I might add is that in the past I have bracketed slower shutter speeds to provide finished alternatives if I think reciprocity failure might be an issue, or if the light meter picks up two values more than 1/2 stop difference, I may bracket. But that's a rarity, and not conveniently done in this situation...and only if I were using unforgiving transparency film.
If I had to guess what the parameters would be were it shot with film: Tripod mounted, 50 ASA rated, 1/30th sec at f16 for a nicely captured wide depth of field with fine grain.
