The background is hurting this picture (the shells don't "pop"), the shadows are really distracting, and the shells themselves are placed rather oddly. Can't tell what texture you are highlighting. The stuff on the bottom side of the greenish shell is distracting. As a whole, the image doesn't have all that much to say. Sorry, 1.
Odd to have placed that green shell so centrally when this screams out for a thirds composition - especially as it's pushed the other shell to such a weak area of frame. If that's silk then it looks more like canvas. Reasonable go, though.
