 I adjusted:

raw convertion

croped the picure a bit
softened the background in layers
made a white border
faded the borders

I think you were trying to make this overexposed, but it went a bit to far.

5: simple but a bit too "white all over" to make out the subject nicely

Very nice. The soft blurred colors are what I imagine zen to look like. Great job.

white part of frame could be larger IMO, overall a bit too soft
