Excellent creation. The light,tones and texture of this path takes to into the clouds, to infinity.

cocker · 06.07.2009, 13:01

beautiful indeed.

stuny · 06.07.2009, 13:12

I agree and like the tremendous depth caused by the angle and converging lines.

Rolo · 06.07.2009, 13:23

Nice angle and I like the curve at the top end.

Have you tried introducing a little more contrast into the path ?

roguewave · 06.07.2009, 15:31

Great perspective & subtle tones. Very suggestive.

I have to agree with Virgil. He has said it well. A classic picture.

Lovely tones, texture, depth. It seems to stand for every kind of long, long journey.

Nice use of tones, textures and converging lines.

When I looked at it again, I especially enjoyed the way you handled the light on the clouds.

Thanks for all your comments - much appreciated. Out of interest I'm posting the original file prior to any adjustments, although I did envisage the image in Black & White when I took it. The M8 files appear very resilient for fairly substantial adjustments. I'm using PS CS4 by the way. I added substantial vignetting to emphasise the pathway and just a little recovery (just a very little was overexposed in the top centre sky as I was very careful to examine the histogram when shooting).

A sensational and moody creation! The Peak district is a truly lovely area, even for someone spoilt by living in Tasmania

Just seen this: my kind of shot. Well done.

I like this one so much that I came back a 3d time!

In the meantime I recommended a look at it to a friend who has a reputation for his fine BW printing. He was enthusiastic about the handling of path & clouds. But he thought the vignetting was overbearing, in the sense of calling too much attention to itself.

You might consider this as a constructive criticism when you make the fine-art print that the image obviously deserves!
