Nice job, this piece has taken major steps forward! A few things that may help would be to adjust your values so you establish a hierarchy of importance and more depth in your composition. A lot of your elements are fighting for center stage. The flowers are beautiful, but they're pulling a lot of attention away from your main portrait subject, and the birds are almost entirely lost among the leaves. By pushing certain elements back with shadow, and pulling others forward with light you can direct attention to the areas you want your viewer to focus on. I'd also consider cropping out the vine leaving frame top left, and the sun/moon/star elements in your borders. These elements further pull the eye out of the central focus of the image rather than keep the eye moving inside of your composition towards your subject. I like how you have the petals breaking this border, it helps lead the viewers eyes into the composition rather than pushing them out, so you could possibly continue that motif across the top of frame. Hope this helps, keep up the good work!

Thank you very much Mr. Patrick for your advice, it is very valuable to me. I will keep in mind to play with the values ​​to highlight the subject. I want to imitate a type of disordered harmony like that of Hiroaki Samura in this photo, combining several elements in a play of lights (but I lack experience XD) PS: My model doesn't like the rhinoplasty she had in her version of the painting XD
