I like the sharpness of the snail! You might want to crop some from the top to emphasize the creature a bit more. Oregon...ah!

Thank you Therese, my idea was to show the long road he had to go on his journey, but I think you are right...will try cropping right above the big whitess spot. Any closer and I'm afraid the snail will be just another centered subject not in touch with its surroundings.

Is that a Boston you are cuddling with?

Therese, we have survived several Bostons and each one has been a bushel of love in fur. Currently no doggie here, but have a Boston granddog, Quincy.

I like the cropped version Becci!

Survived-LOL! My little Dapper is usually to busy to cuddle, but when he does, he's a Lovey Boy.
