Wow, you're really lacking on comments on this one! :P Well, I like this one. I love all the fuzzy little plants you can find in the winter. They're a nice diversion from sticks and branches. The shallow dof is great here.
So, since I like this one, here are a few ideas... just food for thought.
You probably shot this at the 135mm end of the lens, which is why you were at f/5.6, but if you could have gotten closer and shot more towards the 18mm end, you could have pulled the aperture down to f/3.5 giving you an even shallower dof and a more blurred background. Would have isolated the plant even more. As far as composition, it's still pretty centered (seems like that is the way you're comfortable shooting or cropping) but moving it slightly off to the side might help?
In processing, adjusting the levels of just the red and blue channels would have given the shot a warmer brownish hue, and maybe just adjusting the hue/saturation could have done the same. Also, a slight USM might have brought out the individual fuzzies a little more (sorry I don't have a more technical term for them!)
