  <p>I'm Black. In the game I deliberately allowed White pushing the pawn to f6, I was expecting something like <code>...g5, ...Kh7, ...Kg6</code> to pick up the pawn. But then I realised after <code>...g5</code>, White has Bc2 which forces the exchange of the bishop. Once the bishop is exchanged, white should win with the passed d-pawn after e4 &amp; d5.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question</strong>: What's the best continuation for Black here? Can I take advantage of the weak f6 pawn? I don't have a computer with me, so computer analysis is fine. My human evaluation is very danger for Black (thus I'd misevaluated the endgame by allowing it to happen).</p>

  If White tries to hinder your plan by exchanging the bishops he loses the pawn endgame. I have provided brief analysis in the below diagram, see the sublines. Then I have tried to play this endgame with both colors versus computer.
  Computer chose 1...Kf8 as strongest but with some "only moves" I managed to save the draw. This is illustrated in the below diagram as the main line.
  I played your plan with ...g5 + ...Kh7 but computer found good resource in Be8!, which secures a draw. You will find my play as Black in the below diagram as a subline.
  To conclude: you can not exploit your advantage because White generates enough counterplay thanks to your kingside pawns being on the color of your bishop.

  Who is on move? If it is white to move this looks won for white. If it is black you need to get the king on the Qside to hold a draw.
  
  NOTE: human analysis not done by computer. It might be wrong but OTB that is what I expect to happen.
