Woo, no need for strictness at all. lovely looking bow, with fine attention to detail.  :)
That would be a credit to any bowyer regardless of experience.
Clean and simple, that's what I like  :)

Well if you are a beginner, that is pretty good! Lovely looking bow! If you want some minor critisizm, I think your outers bend a little too much for the design but I bet is is a smooth shooter!

Way better than my first bow, I'd say it's and outstandingly well made bow for a beginner, hell, there is nothing beginner-like to that bow at all!  It looks really nice too.

  That is a really good design if you don't have much wood to work with. Even though it has quite a bit of string follow to start off with it also has low string angles and will still give you a decent force draw curve, couple that with low mass it should be a good shooter.

I think this is a great bow! For a beginner or anyone else! Plenty to be proud of here!

Your elbow is a little high in the back  ;)
