There are a lot of blossoms in your shot and my thought is to direct the viewer's eye towards the center and darkening the blooms on either side so there is a focal point.
I cropped the image to localize the flowers, and darkened the far flowers that are in softer focus using a linear gradient in LR, I brushed the flowers in the front and reduced the exposure just a bit so they were less intense than the middle set, and brushed the flowers in the middle and reduced the exposure just a little.

In BW the light is everything. Your shot is a perfect example. The shape of the light inside the building is amazing.
Naturally I had to try some things. In the LR develop module a added a Linear Gradient over the light shaft and brought down the exposure just a touch, I added a second one above the archway and opened up the shadows to add a little more interest there, I also brushed the sky to reduce its brightness.
Your travels bring you to such wonderful scenes such as this

You raise a good point as to why the figure isn't entirely a ghost
To see if it is an artifact from your camera's electronic architecture, you could try an experiment at home with a friend walking in the same direction as the person located "left border below center" with same camera settings and see what happens

Love these long exposure shots.
A quick lesson on IBIS. With the advent of mirrorless cameras the manufacturers started adding accelerometers to sense straight line motion (up,down,ledft,right) and gyroscopes to sense rotary motion (yaw, pitch and roll) and then they feed that into the sensor which is now built to move to compensate for the motion you create hand holding. So if the you move the camera up during the shot, the sensor is moved down to compensate. Long lenses create more of a challenge for IBIS due to the magnified camera shake.
The movement differences are simply the pace each person was moving or not during your 4 second exposure.
Is your lens 65mm?
As an aside I started following a BW street photographer by the name of Fernando Pedro Delgado who uses a Fuji XE-4 body (range finder) with a pancake lens 27/28mm I think. He holds the camera by his side and shots what he likes. This camera is no longer made and I am not able to figure what is going to replace it. Simple use of a fairly affordable camera.

Israel,
Street photography can be a mixed bag due to the subject's acceptance of being captured on "film". I like the shot very much
Consider the following: I cropped the left and bottom edges to bring your subject in tighter, in Lightroom I used a brush on his face and increased exposure a tad and then I selected subject which put a mask over him and inverted the selection to get the background and darkened it so subject pops.

Thank you
I brushed in areas along the shoreline to create pockets of light foliage to keep your eye on the foliage

I did frame it, 11x14, and it is for sale at a local gallery.
Thanks so much for your comments

Thanks so much
I wanted the grass to be the focal point so I felt it must on the left part of the frame

There is just enough drama in the sky to contribute to the final image

Charles,
Thanks for your comments. Smoothing the water was an after thought but I like how it came out

I like the crop you choose here it brings our eyes down to the pathway and the beautiful trees. I always like a curve it makes is think about where it will take us.
Well done

Excellent IR capture.
The arrow straight dark rocky RR tracks contrasted by the soft clothes hanging on the right.
Where did you take this if I can ask?

I can feel the cyclists whiz by in your shot and it is very different image for our group to see. I applaud your creative use of blur in IR.
I am interested in ICM so could you share what you did regarding camera motion please?

Your effort to refine the blue tone paid off here Melanie. You created a wonderful rendering and I now you can relax with a glass of fine port.

I always like simple compositions and achieving it is not always easy. You did here and the white plant diagonal on black stone background makes it work in infrared.
It is laws amazing how plants , trees etc find a place to grow in the rocks.

The color rendering here is extraordinary and makes your image from Spain really pop. The folks at the bottom left probably should bereaved since they are only partially in thefarme.
This is a shot that makes a trip to Europe well worth while.
