A real winner of a shot. Not only the bright, detailed snail and the leaves, but the rings on the tree branches as they depart from the main trunk complements the rings that make up the snail's shell. Only suggestion, is to crop it so as little as possible of the overexposed white sky is showing, yet still leave the tree branch behind him departing the trunk, not to lose those lovely rings.

I really like this photo. I know the snail is very small, but somehow the tree in the background makes it look huge.

Nicely done Eric. Good contrast in shapes. - Ed Maxfield

The colour and the contrasting shapes make a very pleasing image and the photographer has a keen eye to spot it.
