What a lovely spring feeling, all the pastels and the depth of the darker tones!
Well balanced colour wise.
Good self analys.
The vertical as dominant is true and you could have worked that dominance even stronger by letting line continue straight up out of the floral horizontal part.
Those few curving lines either go out or put more.. Our do as suggested above.
All to get a more clear idea, dominance and harmony.

Proportion-wise, it is more vertical dominant... short arc and longer vertical stems in comparison.
The horizontal fanning probably can be increased markedly with use of 5 or 6 more carnations - they stretch the design with volume and color, prevents the tight bunching of other flowers used around it.
Difference of an arc vs wedge shape here depends on the lineation of the horizontal green below the flowers... straight or arc-ing.
Actually if the vertical stem length was shortened, you will get more of a fan shape.
I think this project helps you learn the different proportionality of vertical dominant or horizontal dominant fan shape. I am glad you tried this version to know the adjustments necessary to get one effect or the other.
Great mechanics on this design! xxx
