Thanks for posting your image. I would like to see the background more blurred as there's a lot of distracting items. More of a zoom or close-in shot on a few of the blue bells may have worked? Or, more of a low-level or angle composition?

I have a few of these in my flower bed but that would be impressive to see a whole group like you have captured in this picture! I think your DOF works good with this; foreground is clear with progressive blurriness moving to the back. Maybe a slight crop from the top and/or slight darkening of the top green area would help tone down some of the busyness that Rick mentioned. These flowers are certainly great for this theme!
