I wanted to offer this for critique. It is something that I want to print and hang on the wall in the breakfast room. Wanted to get comments or suggestions before I print

I would do some sharpening before you print.
I tried some and settled on:
Clarity at 48% +
Unsharp Mask: Radius at 0.8px and Factor at 0.5
I think a thin black frame would be perfect for this image.
Nice work.
Seeing it every day at breakfast the big empty hole in the lower third, plus that blackish righthand edge area would bug me more and more day by day, starting with today, and I havent even sat down to breakfast yet. My possible solution is the new crop attached below.
.
Flowers look slightly larger this way.

Such numbers are derived from the uploaded downloadable image. I am assuming that this would likely differ somewhat from the actual original.

Consistent with the intent of our little group, here are my honest thoughts.
Great subject. If this field is near you, may I suggest revisiting at the golden hour? IMO, top down photos of this type are not compelling. The flowers look like dots. IMO, images of flowers need more detail of their anatomy, the textures. And avoiding the harsh lighting would improve the shot. The yellows are nearly blown on on the histo...not quite there. My recommendation is to shoot from a much lower perspective, and make one or three flowers the subject with the others as a supporting cast by being colorful, but out of focus. As another mentioned, you have a dead space which does attract the eye. Once seen, it cannot be unseen.
several good suggestions to think about here. maybe I will go back out next spring and reshoot
