I am going to have to agree with the people that voted this a 3, 4, and a 5. Because when i see this photo, I think: Junk. NOT!!! This is a great photo. I really enjoyed seeing this, and hope that in the future I will be able to take your idea and take a similar photo so I can add it to my portfolio. Love it!

Congratulations!

You have found the obvious solution to the question of how much background to include with the back lit flower. It is almost an example of composition do's.
Leading lines. Rule-of-thirds. Not to mention the exposure and sharpness. 10.
