Nice, very dramatic and the trees in the foreground convey the sense of scale.  Are those God Rays I see coming through the mist lower middle?  I like God Rays.

Possibly you need to bring our the shadow detail in the foreground just a tad?

Opened up the shadow area  a little -- guess I shot for that Zone 3 & 4 .. in the lower trees ..  So different with digital shooting ..

It's so difficult to shot there because everything you bring home is subject to comparison. Your picture really can stand that, congratulation.
