Very nice. When I saw the small version, my first reaction was that there is pretty much foreground. But when viewed large, I like the way the path is winding throught the foreground and how it brings me to the rest of the scene.
I like your contrast, for me the image doesn’t need to be altered. If I’d change anything, I might keep the contrast in the FG and soften the rest of the image a bit, just to separate the two parts even more. But I like it a lot as it is.
@Igor_Doncov thanks for your always highly appreciated comment. I am very glad that you liked the photo. As you suggested I tried a too quick and superficial conversion in B&W but I like very much the idea.
Here is the new version.
@Han_Schutten thanks for your gratifying comment about this photo as it is including the contrast but I like also your idea of softening the upper part of the image. It may solve my doubt about the contrast.
This version reflects what you proposed?
