I'm so glad you liked it. I would hesitate to even call myself an amateur writer and this was very far out of my comfort zone. I look at it now with fresh eyes and I see all kinds of thing I want to change about it, but hearing someone say something nice takes some of the urge to tear it down away. Ultimately this is my submission though so it has to stay. If I really am unsatisfied with it I'll just have to work on it privately.
Often when I read, I'm more concerned with the ideas and the portrayal of the characters. But we can all find things to tighten up and improve, when we first write something, I think. You could always post it again as a polished edit, at a later time?
