Lovely. My one little tiny nitpick is the blade of grass coming through two of the daisy's petals; I wish it weren't there. ~7

I think you could have cropped this more and still kept the same effect. I feel like this just has too much negative space in it to be effective.

The grass shooting through the daisy is a little distracting, but hey- it looks more natural I guess.
Great earth colors in this :)

A tighter crop IMO would improve this image. Maybe cut off a fifth from the left.

it does feel isolated and lonely. Nicely in focus and I'm a sucker for a daisy.

Maybe try following the rule of thirds here? Like the shallow DOF

A little on the cliché side, but as well, a good representation of a cliché. greener grass would be nice. 6

A difficult image to comment on really, it has simplicity and is minimal, but the elegance I associate with minimalism is lacking
