+Hey cool, you have done a pretty good job with values, but you have missed on accurate proportions and edge work.
The trick to reproducing anything is through values+, proportions and edges and is best done by squinting your eyes. If you look at the image you posted, squint your eyes and then look from the original to yours the major differences in proportion, value, edgework become apparent.
I have highlighted differences in angles using red, the areas where the edges are still apparent even after squinting at the orginal I highlighted in blue. These should have been retained in your study and you can see you didn't nail those edges in yours which leads to the somewhat blurry appearance. Your proportions and angles are off.
The green lines are just a quick indicator of location. It's easy to check your accuracy by measuring. You should always squint at your subject in order to simplify it to its essentials.
You have done quite well for a first go, just apply more rigour to your approach and it will serve you well.
Hope that helps
