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.

I really love the effect you do to all your images; they have a nice quality of light and color in them. Their like the paintings of Thomas Kinkade.
richiedean replied
Thank you Mui-Ling, you’re not the first to mention Thomas Kinkade, I am not that familiar with his work, but he is obviously well known where you live .. I hope our works are complimentary to each other :))
