    Stop press – This is my favourite of yours yet Richie – To me it looks like i’d expect to find ET and his ship at the end of this path,

    The lighting and shadows are just superb and the details of the path are brilliant.

    WOW – Break those rules and smash them to pieces if this is the result – that’s what I say!
