- Nice springtime picture, is it acorns or snail shells down there around the snowy patch? I think a tighter crop down the left side would have benefitted the picture.
I had the same thought, that the acorns do look like broken snail shells. But acorns they are of the Quercus palustris tree. It's considered short-lived by tree standards (< 120 years).

I agree that tightening the frame on the snow would have helped my entry, and I tried to find a better crop for my picture, but wasn't successful in making it look better than the original. I'm gonna see if your suggestion works.

And I vote for #9. ric9K. Both of those N900 entries using alternative camera apps really have a nice mood to them well suited to the subject.
