I'm not so sure. I wouldn't ever have tried to put the flowers in, where they were in the photo. All the compositional weight would have been over on the right edge, and all colour as well. Possibly over on the other side, but I have too little experience and imagination to "make them up" where I can't see them. You did the right thing to leave them out. However, you could capture some of their reflected light in the girl's face anyway ... ??? ... and lighten and warm up that shadow side.
There's lots of room left here for building this into a stellar piece. Don't wrap it up yet.
