Compositionally, I think this is great. The diagonal really gives it a dynamic feeling and leads the eye through the frame well. The only thing I might suggest is to make it so the snail is crawling up the picture, not sliding down.
Technically, the focus is great here. Also, your choice of dof works because it keeps the foreground from being too distracting from the main subject. To me, it looks like you used a flash, and that makes some of the shadows a bit contrasty OR the solid black background doesn't "feel" right. Maybe if you could have gotten some greenery or something there.
The challenge. I'm sure many voted you down for having something other than a person. This is a great picture, and would score 2 or 3 points higher in a challenge for "Garden Creatures" or "shells" or something like that (another challenge where the connection was more obvious).
Good work though, and best to you in future challegnes.
