too much angle, but thats a damn good job for a first time. check out my thread a lil ways down for some of my attempts hehe.
i'm sure someone can come along and give you more detailed criticism but keep up the good work.

I LIKE CHOCOLATE!

Pretty good for your first try but like previously stated too much angle.
Unless you have some crazy *** tube style that needs that kinda thing.
