Welcome to the forum!

I understand from the rules for this forum section that I didn't ask specific questions. I wanted people to tell me their opinion on technical level, but because of my lack of knowledge in that area (for now everything is to complex for me) I didn't dare to ask specifically.
Then I suggest you stop feeling like a newbie and just ask! If you want to know a thousand things, ask a thousand questions. But please do put the more important ones at the top ;-)

I hoped that someone would mention composition, DOF, lightening or else, so my learning would be much easier then since applied on my own picture.
I also ask opinions on emotional level. Is this picture make you feel anything or not? Is it worth keeping it?
I hope I corrected mistake I've made.
I like the snail and its precarious position. It actually made me laugh! So that makes it a good photo, technique be damned.

To improve the shot, I would have picked a slightly different angle, so that you don't get the blown out sky in the background. By placing more of those dark leaves behind the snail it'll stand out more.
