B&W.  Not even close.

Why is the left side so dark?

Why is the left side so dark?

There is a little more detail visible on my monitor but I didn't care to bring much detail there to start with. I exposed more for the highlights and the difference in luminosity was quite large between the left side, under the cloud cover, and the right side, lit by the sun through a break in the clouds. I preferred the contrast, you don't want to go to the left (too dark) or to the right (impassable terrain) but follow the road ahead.

Yeah.  But it doesn't look right.

The light was weird.

Here is a version with no postprocessing and one with that left side lifted more.

I wonder if you can just crop it out; something like this?
