I like the image and the composition, but the scan seems a little too contrasty and unsharp. was the scan froma a print?

Yes, this scan is from a 5x7 Ilfachrome: the slide itself is sharper, has a little less contrast (and is actually a little more saturated). Nonethess, I'm no photoshop expert and don't possess a sclide scanner (yet).

This is a pretty nice shot. The scan does look somewhat soft though. I think you are better off scanning the slide directly. Did you use a polarizer? If not, a polarizer may enhance the cloud a bit. You also may get warmer colors in the clouds if you shoot closer to sunset.
