Feedback on my first sourdough loaf

Profile picture for user Filomatic

Dear Loafers, below are photos of my first sourdough loaf, and I'd love some critical feedback.  Do any more experienced bakers see defects in the crumb, for instance?

This is a BBA Poilane style loaf recipe from Breadtopia, http://breadtopia.com/whole-grain-sourdough/.  I used a Le Creuset instead of a La Cloche, and the bottom was a bit darker than ideal.  I should have checked it once I removed the lid for phase two of the baking.
