Is this too subtle?

This is my b&w conversion of a trail in the woods. Below is the original color version. I know there's a trail winding through the trees, but is it apparent to you?

What do you think of the conversion?

not really :( can't really see / tell that there's wind in the air. I like the shadow mixture of the BW conversion, better than the color in my opinion. gives it a better feel

I agree with sumozebra, I prefer the B/W over the color. In B/W, the shadows don't stand out as much and it creates a much better mood.
