Looks good, if you decrease the font size by one or two than the drop cap indent goes way in. 
Is there a way to fix that.

Nice work but using drop-caps you have to pay attention to line-height 
or you end up with unwanted space underneath the image. The image is 
about 57px tall so you want the line-height to be a multiple of that. 
Try adding the following to your example page to see the difference it 
makes:

p { line-height: 19px; clear: left; }

it might be better to use the em equivalent of 19px though.
