Now I like that. Simply as an exercise in shades of gray and lines. If anything, I find the foreground a bit distracting and the highlights might be a tad over for my taste.

Very sound comments. On screen, those highs will be too high. On paper, they are better. When there is scrambled eggs for a foreground, I try to keep the highs up enough to divert any attention to the rubbish below. Always a compromise, never perfect. Thanks.
