I could imagine old Leadbelly or Woody Guthrie walking down a road like this carrying a guitar, looking for a meal.

Makes me feel I must walk this road and see what lies beyond the far misty trees. Well captured Johnny - jimmy

I always hesitate to give critique to B&W because I don't consider myself to be very good at it, and my peers tend to agree quite often
So with that in mind ... take my offerings for what they are ... just my opinion ...

I like the composition in terms of the way the road appears from the right and gently guides our eyes through and left a little. However, I do find the composition lacking a solid focal point and anything that really grabs me.

This would be a difficult shot to get I realise with all the featureless sky and fog. I think having so much sky in the shot doesn't aid the photo at all. I'd have tried to make something else more of a feature I think and exclude much more of the sky.
Looking at the photo I think perhaps the corner up near the trees might have held a better scene for this shot. Easy to say sitting here though I realize.

The whites in this shot are more grey than white which gives the shot an overall dirty appearance. Adjusting the curves would help there.

I also see that the tones are rather compressed which doesn't allow for any constrast or punch. Does elements have the Black & White feature in Image Adjustments with about 8 sliders for colour tones like PS? It offers great control for the tones.

Apart from that ... that's me I think! Hope some of that is useful and I'm happy for others more knowledgeable to argue with me here.
