most of the time, beauty cannot be seen with the eyes, but is felt with the heart

Yep, looks good to me. Dark background against the light subject. There isn't much to say for improving it.

Though, you might be interested in this article.

everyone wants joy, no-one wants pain, but how can you make a rainbow without a little rain?

bird of the sky's or Birdie's (as she is affectionately known to her friends ;o) ) ... sunny daisy.

Nice shot, btw. :o)

Nit picking here ... slight distraction in the right hand side, where the blue enters into the frame just behind some of the petals.

And a suggestion, not really a criticism ... as I think your photo is a good candidate for this method of sharpening. Hopefully, you have Photoshop at your disposal. Although I am sure there is a workaround with PSP, etc..

1) Open your image.

2) Duplicate your Background layer.

3) Change the Blending mode of that layer to ... Overlay.

4) With that layer selected ... go to ... Filter > Other > High Pass ... and set a value for the Radius.

Which will depend on the size of the file/photo that you are working with. I would hazard a guess that something in the neighbourhood of 0.5 to 1.0 ... or thereabouts would be work. Experiment some.

And pay attention that you don't end up oversharpening. It will be apparent to your eye along the edges and lines contained within your image.

Very nice composition. Good detail and clarity. Good DOF. Well done from me too.
