I would tend to use a tighter crop and focus on the bloom, like Georgia OKeeffe stuff, but I actually like this pov. I love simple and clean. This makes me think that even "just a dandelion" smiles up at the sun, too. Great job!
I would try and make the flower stand out more from the background. Maybe make the background darker. Or do a vignette (darken the corners of the image); vignettes are known for guiding the viewers' eyes toward the subject of the image. The focus of the flowers of course; now how to do that! You may not have a tripod and also maybe there was a breeze so the flower was trembling, then it is hard to make the shutter fast enough to get a really sharp shot. Some point & shoot cameras have a "Macro" setting with a flower on it, which I think widens the aperture in order to throw the background more out of focus.
The concept is great. :) I love the fact that the flower is so separate from the background, and the background has a nice creamy blur to it :) The colours are also really nice and vibrant :)
However as others have mentioned, the focus on the flower could be sharper. And I'd maybe play with colour balance/contrast a bit, to give the colours even more pop (the camera tends to wash out the colours we see!)
@bonniebouman Thank you for your photography words of wisdom :) I do know about the macro setting! and right when i heard the click that i took the picture i ran to my car because we were leaving witch it helps if you take a picture and hold it for a minute!
