I took your advice and as expected it was spot on. What an improvement. But, do I add more still? I do not want to over work it. On the right is the improved version.
I say move on and keep doing more! And you can ask yourself: Am I getting my darks in? Have I chosen where to leave/put my good strong highlights? Do I have a full range of values from dark to light in my tone bar and in my subject? Have I defined a nice, clean edge with a sharpened pencil? Have I clearly shown my overlaps? Draw on.
I agree with Sam. At this point it would be hard to go back and pickup the highlights. Next drawing try what Wendy suggests and draw a single petal on the side of the page as practice to work out the values and colors.

Yes, much better with some more light tones! But like Sam and Katy said, just keep this in mind for next time and leave a few areas that are the white of the paper to preserve those super bright highlights. Great work!
