Needs more Contrast. While we stay away from excessive contrast in color, with grayscale, it adds drama.
So, do you boost contrast in pp as part of your workflow?

It looks to me like you’re on the right track. Something I always look for when shooting for b&w are images that will give the complete tonal range of black blacks and white whites.
I hoped thia image would have that, but I am not sure.

Oh, you definitely are. I think the only thing others may be suggesting (or at least I am), is that the scene itself presents a lot of middle Grey are with relatively few highlights and deep shadows.
I love the arrangement and image. If it were mine, I might try to selectively boost some high values and lower some darker greys to black.
That’s what you probably “saw” when you hit the shutter button. Ansel Adams would have loved today’s digital darkroom.
