I agree with Mike completely here.. the ending not "could" but rather SHOULD have been anything OTHER than that straightforward diatonic ending.
You could easily lengthen this piece into a more substantial work. It explores the upper register and those harmonics and stopped tones beautifully.. so why not contrast it with something darker and lower?
And I also loved those "disruptive pedal notes" as Mike called them. There's something to do with those as well.. a tightening of the harmony.. bringing the pedal tones into line, slowly, with the upper harmony.
By the way, did I say that I loved this?
Very beautiful.
Oh, and I'd really really love to see a score. I don't know much about writing for guitar, despite having had a classical guitarist as a father.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
