Hi Ingrid- the open face flowers are particularly striking! I would go back and do more toning at the overlaps and areas that would be in shadow. For example – the cluster of buds in front of the leaf on the lower right does not read well. The leaves obviously have a lot of texture, but they could use more of a range of tones and greens to emphasize that. The yellow buds could use some toning also and the grey/green pencil would be worth a try to add toning to them without muddying the nice yellows you have.
Lovely Ingrid, and like Doug said, going darker in your greens will help pop those yellows out. Don’t be afraid to darken them. And yes – true – everyone is challenged by the toning of the yellows.

@dougmilne thanks a lot for your feedback I ‘ll give it a try! For me the toning and shading of yellow seems rather difficult, hope I won’t spoil it …
