This picture went through a lot of work. Originally an HDR, converted to black and white, and then put through Topaz Clean. Any suggestions on how to improve it would be appreciated, thanks!

Jackie, I really like the composition and I love Yosemite so seeing this brings back really great memories! I like the Topaz applied, it's not over done. I like the clouds in the sky and the conversion is nicely done!!
Nice image Jackie. Brings back memories of a night once spent. Wish I had digital then...Need to repeat that experience again.
I like what you have, but as you asked for suggestions... I would add a little contrast to pop it somewhat. It seems to be a little flat. I might also crop it, but this is a personal thing. Your's is nice, but ... here is another version. Basically highlighting El Capitan and Bridal Veil falls.
See if it is your vision.
agree with mark about it being flat. just would like to see more of a tonal range from dark to light. contrast may help, but i'd bet you could go back to a single file, not an HDR and get a better black and white.
quick and dirty, high contrast with yellow filter in silver efex pro. gives you and idea i think.
Get the idea Harold. Thanks both for the suggestions. Back for a re-edit:)
Great crop suggestion and repost. Very strong IMHO. I love it in B&W.
Love this valley view and the added contrast. Agree on the crop; you may also want to consider a pano version... IMO.
Hi Lady Jackie,
I like your composition, image and capture...I like the Doctor's tweak...:cool:
