I'd try it with a crop (about 1/4 of the image) on the left. Then the path leads you across and up and then to the statue and back. Right now it takes me there and leaves me wondering where to go.
But I've often wondered where to go..though some tell me to my face
A real nice image that has many possibilities. I would suggest cropping not only the left side, but also the bottom. You will have a good time working on this wonderful photo!
