ok, a quick "correction"... horns 1 and 2 go on one staff, and 3 and 4 on the other.
don't divide them "high horns on one staff" and "low horns on the other".
the exercise seemed a bit "square" to me... with the instruments coming in in pairs the way they did, and on sort of breaks in the phrase. I think your other exercise was more of a success than this one.
You won't get an effect of "resonance" if the resonant instrument is playing the same note values as the rest of the ensemble.
There needs to be some sort of rhythmic difference between planes of sound - Melody, Accompaniment, Resonance...

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
