I'm sorry I can't offer too much of a critique, all I got is one little detail that's more of a warning than a problem. So all your flowers are drooping in the same direction at the same height, this lack of difference/ contrast can lead to a sense of sameness that steals some interest from the piece.
Hey! As I wrote that I thought of something else that might help and it deals with the composition of the piece (oh the horror!). Currently your picture doesn't have much flow, (and by flow I mean there's nothing really guiding us through the picture). A way to fix this is to lift all the flower up a little higher and then add some grass or something along the bottom of the frame.  Most of this grass would lean toward the right side of the picture and as you got closer to that side of the frame, the grass's height would increase so that it develops a vertical slant. If managed correctly, this grass should lead the eye across the picture to the flower's stalk that would then lead the eye up to the flower itself.
I hope this helps and if not then I blame the meteor strike landing in my back yard.
 May fortune favor you

I think I have the patience. Sometimes when I'm wrong on a drawing, I almost cry so I'm disappointed.
I made a big mistake to color on the next project that I will post on DA (mid-March) but I still want to offer this one to the community because I want to move forward, I want the most experienced people than me can tell me what's wrong and what I need to improve.

Da sind sie endlich, die Frühlingsboten, hier vor dem schwachen ersten Grün und ein paar letzten Flocken des Winters.

Ich mag zwar Schnee sehr gerne und finde es Schade, dass es dieses Jahr bei mir hier davon nichts gab, aber ich freue mich auch total, wenn ich die Glöckchen in der Natur sehen kann. Frühling ist auch 'ne tolle Jahreszeit

Das Weiss macht sich immer gut auf Bildern, wo die Kälte nur zu ahnen ist.

Frühling ist sicher die beste Zeit, die mit Schneeglöckchen beginnt. Endlich wieder raus ins Grüne.
