Why did this photograph turn out this way?

This morning I took a few pictures outside of the frost, but when I downloaded them I noticed that one of them had this beautiful, faded vintage-y look to it, but none of the others did. Here's the picture:

I used a DSLR (Nikon D3000) on macro mode (the shutterspeed set itself to about 1/50) with a 2-stop neutral density filter. I think I was also shooting in the direction of the sun, but as you can see it's not in the shot. What made the picture come out like this, and how can I get this effect again? Was it an accident, or is there a specific technique or angle that you need to shoot at to get this kind of lighting/color?
Thanks in advance!

Added (1). Sorry, I guess my question wasn't clear. I'm not talking about the focus of the picture at all, just the lighting and the colors. Everything looks slightly desaturated without being blown out. I almost think it's mainly the shadows that create the effect--they seem like they should be a darker color, but they look under exposed (not sure if that's the right word).

Added (2). I forgot that I had the filter on until I came back inside, but the pictures turned out fine.

What will I need to get started with my new DSLR?

I recently got a Nikon D3100 with the 18-55mm kit lens.
I'm thinking about getting a UV filter for it, but I'm not sure about the size. I keep reading 52mm is that correct?

Also, are there any other accessories you recommend I get?
I don't see anything about a USB for transferring photos/videos from the camera to computer, do I need to purchase one separately?
