The color study is great, but I believe that if you practice value and edges first you will get better faster and then later you can focus on colors. Do some black & White photo studies, and focus on getting the right values of that photo. (This will help you to make better color studies later on too.)
About the edges, with hard- and soft edges you can define form a lot better, an example from your color study is the mountains in the background, in the original the blue/purple shading has kinda of an hard edge, while your study has more soft edges, which makes the whole mountain seem more soft, and the form disappear. I hope that make sense :)
With Black & White photo studies you can practice both values and edges at the same time, and make sure you take your time with the study to fully understand how values and edges work. This helped me alot, and still does! Hope you will find this helpful :)
