K-9 nailed it again. Crop down to get that foreground rock into a better proportion

I agree with the B & W. Has that atmospheric look that often looks good in B & W. i Don't agree with cropping out the rock, i like the texture it brings to the image.

Very Nice, I prefer that to the colour version but still would not have cropped it so much. The pathway is too central for me.

I wouldn't have cropped so much from the left, and taken a llittle from the bottom, which looks like you didn't crop at all, taking it all from the left side. You lost too many of those creepy shaped trees, which was a good aspect of your shot. Your crop now focuses on the one tree too much.
Keep in mind, the best solution may not be cropping but going back and recomposing the scene. Just because we said there's too much rock, isn't going to mean to just crop it out and the photo is now saved. There may not be a "best" crop that can save every photo. The original composition wasn't bad, just a bit more rock than I would have preferred. It makes the viewer's eye stay there too long, and not look beyond fast enough toward the spooky shapes of the trees. It sort of holds your interest more than it should.
Another suggestion is maybe adding a person or figure in the scene, maybe on the path or in the trees, to add more interest and perspective. While as is it's an atmospheric shot, there isn't a true subject to keep one's eye on, regardless of how it's cropped.
