If you've understood what the original did to achieve its result, and you use the acquired knowledge in your own work. And by understand, I don't mean 'this color goes here, this color goes there'. No, try to understand why, how, where, for what purpose every brush stroke was made, the thought process behind it. You first need a solid base in whatever you're trying to copy to understand it. That's all studies are supposed to do. If you truly get it, you can do whatever you want with it after. Your study looks really good, but I don't think you got it as your highlights, control of values and transitions are lacking. If you like what you did, go ahead and repeat it in your own work, but I think you should try again.
