Thank you for submitting Path to the Cove and Into the Oaks! They are both very fitting images for the theme.

From a day or two after this MSA topic was announced, instant film pinhole:
and this on World Pinhole Photography Day:Path to the cove
It's a good day if you are about to follow this path. For MSA Follow the Path.
I printed another MSA from WPPD today, but not thrilled with the print ( I used a new kind of gelatin for a salt print, and it caused some problems. ). I'll try again tomorrow but it won't be dry until Sunday.
Edited post to insert MSA gallery photos here. wasn't sure how to do that until i saw @NedL post.

A few steps down-river from the mill, along the Susquehanna River on the tow path of the...Long Washed Out
Along the tow path of the Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal - up river. Path long ago washed out.
Here's a last minute entry, a still-drying salt print I made today from a pinhole paper negative. I think this might be my WPPD entry too, but need to print a few others from that day before deciding.

WPPD and MSA. This is a salt print from a pinhole paper negative made on World Pinhole...
Thanks to everyone who submitted images for the March/April MSA, “Follow the Path”. I wish that I could pick multiple winners, as it was a challenging task to narrow down the many superb compositions to just one.
In my description I indicated to submit images which pull the viewer into a scene, draw the eye toward some destination in the background, and create the desire to want to follow that path. I was drawn to follow city streets, bridges, staircases, a wheel chair ramp, a streetcar, and a train. I was tempted to climb a trail to the summit of a peak, walk trails through the woods, and step down to a cove. Several images created a wonderful atmosphere with a trail in the fog, tire tracks in the snow, a wintertime roadway, flowers, sap buckets hanging on trees, a young woman leaning against a tree, a pathway to a school house, and another to war.
The one image which I kept going back to, and the one I have selected as the winner, is “Left or Right?”, by jeffreythree. The physical path, which splits into two, suggests a merging of itself again somewhere behind the tree (left center). But since this convergence can’t really be seen, it becomes the allure to want to walk the trail. The division of cloudy sky with cloudless sky, happening at the time the image was captured, are also two paths merging (or splitting) above. For me this image also creates a feeling of spaciousness and the fishbowl effect provides an added dimension of overall atmosphere.
A well-conceived photograph and a wonderful take on the assignment theme. Now it’s your turn to choose a theme for May/June!
