I am no photoshop guru. The soft edges are from my polarizer that was getting fogged. There was a 1200 foot water fall behind me. thanks for looking. Takakkaw Falls

Solid effort, Mike! I assume this was a color image, converted to b&w? The tonal range is good throughout. Very nice composition, too.

If this was a digital shot in RAW, you could make some adjustments that would keep the clouds from blowing out and recover a little of the shadow detail in the foreground trees. Neither is needed to make the image work, but both would make for small improvements.
