Tonal Study III - full colour

As is often the case, the more I explore a subject in watercolour, the more overworked it gets.
This time, I moved away from my monotonal study, and used a (small) number of colours: Indigo, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, Green Apatite Genuine, Van Dyke Brown, and Potter's Pink.
The result is pretty enough, but it doesn't look as striking as my first and second version I think.

Before I started, I did colour swatches to figure out what would work with what, but rather than matching colours in pairs, I should have done a little abstract with all the colours together, to get a better sense of how they would work together. It's not bad, but I don't think it's hitting the high notes. What do you think?
