Asthetically, I think it's beautiful. You did a great job. I still have a couple of small things though.

At the begenning and end where you have the high D in the basses and resting 'cellos, the usual practice is to have the 'cellos carry the bassline while the basses rest. It's just preference though.

I felt kinda rhtymically lost in the pizz. section between 35 and 50 or so. I susupect it might just be the playback though. Your oboe and bassoon sound a little loud compared to the strings.

There's a couple of collisions in the score that you can probably find yourself. A lot of your hairpins seem a little wonky.

Overall a great job.

P.S. The vocals at 56 are a little awkward. I try not to be closed minded about effects like that, but it's a little wierd to expect the string players to sing. Even if you keep it in, you should indicate if it's meant to be transposed or written pitch.
