One complaint: there's really too much reverb, the sound is muddy.
As film music, it's quite pretty.
As a stand-alone orchestral piece, it's meh (in my opinion, only). Just a bit too cliché for me.
Wouldn't mind seeing a score of course, it's a lot easier to comment when you can say "blah blah at measure blah blah in this instrument blah blah".
However, for an 18-yr old, you've got a great future ahead of you. Don't give up on the "modernist pieces". I'm sure that with some imagination you'll be able to apply the same "romanticism" to the "modernist" aesthetic. Remember, just because it's more dissonant doesn't mean it can't be just as romantic.

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.
