Plain to see, you have the technique down. Seems fairly effortless, too, which is a good thing.
Now, in the introduction, with the RH chords, make sure you're following the rhythm exactly. The dotted quarter (crotchet) to eight (quaver) is much better at creating the dramatic effect than two quarters (crotchets). Make sure you apply this throughout the entire piece.
Aside from that, I enjoyed it. I don't really have a ton of time to cite bar measures where dynamics are involved, or timing etc. But it sounds pretty solid.
