I have no idea what the intention was here. This is a snail on a thorny stalk of some kind? Shooting from above was a bad choice. The snail, obviously meant to be the subject, is overwhelmed by being placed in the midst of all those thorns and, worse, the blurry, uninteresting background that takes up 3/4 of the picture plane. Mentally divide this picture into quadrants and you will see what I mean.
