Default Pls help: Terrible or Decent Work?

Happy New Year guys!!!
Please help a newbie, I just finished this HD point cover and would you let me know if this is a decent or horrible work?

I know my scrolls still have lots of elbows & flat spots and my shading lines are not perfect. However, is this an acceptable piece for a motorcycle part?
