Hi Patricia- the sprouts are beautifully rendered! I would add more dark toning on the right sides of the three whole sprouts to enhance their form. It is especially noticeable because the cast shadows are dark. I would also lighten the cast shadows a little. The single leaf looks like a whole sprout because of the toning. Lighten the toning at the top of the leaf and erase the toning on the right side which would be in the light. Doing that will play up the cup effect.
Sprouts with toning only.
