Is it acceptable for a fine art photograph to be simple in its form? Yes it is, indeed simplicity can itself be really effective - but it has to be executed well.
Choose your point of focus with care. Decide if you want every detail to be in focus or if you you would like to combine a shallow point of focus with softness elsewhere, as can be achieved, for instance, with a LensBaby. Either way, make sure your focus area is 100% crisp. This is evermore important in a simple image as there are no distractions behind which to hide!
