Great job Jane! You have wonderful smooth toning!!!! The one thing I would revisit is the highlight. It is too straight (they generally follow the shape of the branch) and it seems too bright. Unless the branch has very shiny bark the highlight would be softer. Highlights will often have breaks in intensity along the way, r.e. where a bud is emerging or an area where a side branch broke off, etc..You are almost there!!!
