I think the composition is ideal, and the processing, while somewhat conservative, is fine. I just feel like the image should evoke more impact on me than it does.
I just wonder, in LR5, if you used the new Radial tool around the tree & leading rocks, if that would help - perhaps darkening the surrounding area just a bit. Not only would the rocks lead the way up, but the induced lighter area caused by the non-inverted radial tool would encourage one even moreso. It doesn't hurt to experiment.

I like the idea, here, Ronald. The light is very nice, and you did a good job processing this one. The large boulder in the foreground makes my eye hop to and fro between it and the tree, but I do like how the smaller rocks lead my eye up the hill.
