Beautiful picture even though I think the subject is just too cornered.
The only other thing bothering me is a nervous bokeh.

I really like the compo of this shot. All that empty space of blur really draws the eye to the sharp little snail. Cool.

I love the colors and and how crisp the moss looks and the details of the snail but there is too much negative space for me. Your subject and really only important part of the image is so small in the corner. When I decide to look at the rest of the image I keep seeing a blurry nose and sunglasses and your image shouldn't say that. 5

The subdued colors and tones are very earthy - perfect for a garden challenge. Nice shot.
