First of all does it meet the challenge? Yes it does... it's got grain although personally I'm not sure that the grain was extremely beneficially to this image.
In terms of the size of your photo, this one is much too small to see anything, and that caused you to lose some major points here on DPC. How can you fix this? DPC allows you to enter an image that is 640 px at it's longest side. So in photoshop - or an equivalent program under image, image size resize your photo so that it is (for this image for example) Width - 640 pixels Height will change with that... Resolution - 72 pixels/inch. Make sure that the boxes for scale styles, constrain proportions and resample image (bicubic) are all checked. That should help you have the right size for next time!
Now on to the technical stuff...
First of all why did you think this should be in black and white? I'm not sure, but to me it looks a tad bland in black and white... maybe if you had upped the contrast some, given it some blacks, that might have helped... but I don't really care for it as it is... I wonder if this image had a really nice brown pathway with sprinkles of green prickly things (whatever they are called) from the trees and nice green at the top? Maybe the sun was blown out?
I like what you caught with the sun illuminating the pathway... Now put a person there!! or a dog, or something... just a bit more to add some interest.
Composition wise I think it's pretty nice... I like that you kind of got to the side of the path, and also that you have path leading from your feet onward. Looks very nice that way. I like the nice straight trees juxtaposed with the rounding path, I think it works.
Overall I think you found some nice light, and a good image, but I think that maybe you might have wanted to play around a little more with the post processing, to come up with something a bit more dynamic and interesting - as well as of course larger.

| A wonderful image but you are shortchanging yourself by choosing such a small format. |

| I would have really liked to see this in a larger size. The grain looks harsh when made so small. |

| I wish it were larger, it looks great from what i can see - benefit of the doubt vote - 7 I think it needs a little more contrast |

| Good use of leading lines however the size of the image prevents me from seeing enough of the details to be able to evaluate the use of grain in the image. |

| I'm sure you've heard this many times already, but I wish it was bigger. It's a great shot. Really good mood. This would have been a 7 or 8 from me, but being so tiny, I have to give it only a 6 |
