This is lovely Ishbel. I especially love that little curl on the dried leaf on the left. Your handling of the midvein is superb! I think you could add a little overall 3D form on the upside down flower just next to that leaf. A little toning on the right side of that form would help to give it that 3D feel. I love how you handled the center of the flower on the lower right, that dark toning on the right gives it beautiful form, and you were still able to show the details of those itty bitty flowers. I really love the colors in this composition. It has a ghostly, ethereal feel to it.
