Rock climbing

[DSG]

While taking some detail shots of a rather cool brick wall (LOL) I came across this pattern which looks like a man climbing the wall carrying 2 boxes. I think I have it the way I want it now but a little outside critique always helps The lighter colored one is the original shot, the deeper colored one is the final print, and the B&W is I think my favorite to date. Tell me what you think thanks

Q1. Have I over done contrast on B&W, and should I darken corners more to bring the eye in on the figure?

Q2. Although experienced in darkroom work, I am new to Photoshop lol, is there anything I could improve more in the final color print when looking at the original shot?

That's a really neat pattern.

My favorite is the second shot. I love the red tones in it, and the black and white did feel a bit too overdone. I don' t think there is anything else you need to worry about for printing. Someone else can specify if I'm wrong.
