It's nice to see spring colors popping up, but there are several things in this image that are distracting. The tree in the background totally takes away from your flowers. I would prefer a shot more from the left with the sky as the background. I would also consider getting rid of the small stems on the bottom center/right. Maybe even get a little closer to your main subject to draw the viewer in a little more.

Christopher, I think Amy's got some good suggestions. If this were shot without the tree in the background, then the blue sky would have created a nice negative space for the flowers. I really like the low angle, looking back up at the flowers. It adds a majesty to the image.
