The tunnelpath-vision effect is so effective.
Your quote rightly emphasizes the permanent goodness a walk bestows on man's spirit, as the images are above being about paths for mere mortals with footprints. Thanks. |

| You know Clive I particualry love your editing style, I always have. The pathways are a symbol, some are barren and cluttered some are wide and expanse some are pretty and soft, but to me they are the way to go, just choose the right path, that's all. |

| Clive, your composition is spot on, I love the ethereal feel you get from your use of depth of field. It really is a beautiful series, a fairy land trail that I would gladly follow. Such a crowded isolation. |

I'm afraid I agree with this. It is also my *only* criticism of an otherwise beautiful collection. |
Totally agree with you guys on this. It definitely needs editing down. I was planning on another pruning and re-jiggle before submitting but ran out of time and knew i'd be away for a few days and didn't want to miss the deadline. |

Oh Clive, if you cut down to 19 images you could call this little jewel a "villanelle". Mind you, I did not know the term but found it when looking to paraphrase Dylan Thomas's title of his ballad:
"do not go gentle into that good night"
(while looking at your ode in my head were popping verses of DT; also "And death shall have no dominion" but your choice was perfection itself)
Just wonderful. |

| Clive, this is a beautiful collection of images and a fascinating topic. I like your consistency in processing and the blurry vignette works well. I also enjoy how you've included images that aren't of the path but more peripheral views from the travelers wondering eye. I'm usually not a fan of placing text on images but you've done a very nice job of keeping it simple. The Macfarlane quote is beautiful. I could see this series hanging in a gallery. Thanks for your inspiration. |

| Clive, what to say other than I love what you have done here. Your style has really evolved and I am loving the way you have portrayed this area of Wales. |

Your photography is sublime; same as it ever was. These images are perfectly positioned between two journeys: the steps that have been taken in another time (almost in another place), and the steps that are promised. It somehow suggests that walking these paths involves some responsibility to their past.
The only criticism I have is that there are too many images, with some that are nearly indistinguishable one from another. But that aside (and it may just be my own uncertain attention span that's the problem), the photographs are beautiful. I absolutely love the way that you have held onto certain details, and let others drift a little. It feels like a very Celtic view of things, where there's no sure ground between corporeal and ethereal. The spiritual dimension is always there, but muted just enough to remain plausible. Thank you.
