Nice subject, horrible exposure and composition, though. The spiderweb and man-made objects could have been cropped out simply by moving over to the left and down with the camera. With a digital camera, there is no excuse for underexposure, since you can preview your images immediately.
Nice composition. The blad of grass curving through the image lets the eye wander along and the uncluttered background is nice, often hard to achieve. I think what lets your photo down is that it is significantly underexposed. I just played with the levels and stuff to see if postprocessing would help, and it did some, but not much. Since there's nothing really bright in the picture I'm wondering what threw off your lightmeter. Or did you leave it on a non-automatic setting that didn't work here (I have way too many of those shots at home).
