The crop does bother me a little, and I think you're right about needing something wider. 18mm is pretty wide, but one of the 12-24 f/4s or the Sigma 10-22 would really shine here. Compositionally, I think you're mind is in the right place.
I probably would've gone even smaller with the aperture (f/16, even) to really max out the DoF and sharpness.
Color rendering and saturation both look good, were you shooting raw or jpeg?
