Looks great MumbleyJoe. I assume that is your site in your signature. You chose a composition nearly exactly the same as I did:

But mine was a digital 'composition check' throw-away. Great site!

Nothing wrong with mountains and clouds :) The southwest is fantastic for landscape photography, though my real love will always be Yosemite.
Thanks Zaitz! I don't think anyone's ever really commented on my site before. I still hand-code my HTML like an idiot, but that's all I know how to do.
I'm glad you made it to that fantastic vantage point for Nevada Falls. I saw it a couple years before I took that, before I began messing with Large Format, and when I had my next chance I hiked my gear up and over the Mist Trail specifically to take that shot.
I really should just make another print, but I rarely get around to making my contact prints - I'm over a month behind on developing a handful of negatives as it is. :-P
Thanks Leigh!
I can't say there's anything I particularly dislike about HC110, other than that I seem to keep producing negatives that don't scan well, mostly from developing too much density (not always). I just haven't been able to control high-contrast scenes to my liking/expectations, and I'm thinking about D23 as an alternate, in part so that I can also prepare divided D23 for compensating development (I admit to being substantially persuaded by Ken Lee's photography and advocacy for D23). I'd really like to try divided Pyrocat HD too, just haven't gotten a hold of it yet. (Also, I feel like I'm the only person who uses HC110 with FP4 film, and that can't be good!)
Bottom line, no particularly good reason that I can defend. It seems everyone here has years of experience in the darkroom, whereas I only began developing negatives a couple years ago on the bathroom floor... I have much to learn, and the best way to learn is through experience. I DO love the convenience of HC110 though.
Thanks everyone!

Thank you very much, Nicolas, Sam and Sean.
I don't have a centre filter for this lense, and am wondering if I need to get one, despite their cost. It seems to be OK on this image, but on others the darkening towards the edge of the image is more pronounced. I'm also not sure how to avoid vignetting if I mount another filter on top of the centre filter (eg an orange filter) - is there a good way of doing this? It doesn't seem to be possible to mount a filter on the rear lense element, for example.
David,
Although I'm not in the league of most contributors here, I solve filter stacking problems by using a step up ring and oversize filters. Added expense but works a treat.
