Hi Diane,
You certainly have placed the classical touch to the painting, very aptly. Looking at the painting brings up a visual feeling of looking at a Flemish old master's painting.
In my point of view, the roses lined up leads up to the face. But the lined-up roses doesn't serve well in the whole design of the painting. The roses on the left row are all in the same size, as well as the row of roses on the right. I see great value in varying the sizes of the roses, to give a sense of depth to the painting.
Another value which will boost your image quality, is to control the values used in the painting. The roses not only distract us by being too "lined-up" and similar in size, the color values of the roses take our attention away from the face.
I'm sure that if you look through these issues, you may find great improvements in the artwork - and for all you know, it can fool others to think it's the real Great Master's work!
