Hi Dana,
  Fantastic! I feel you had a good idea of what your mics were capable of
capturing and intuitively placed them for what you wanted to hear. After
that you arranged the digital bits like a collagist in Audition. My only
criticism is that by asking us you are second guessing a wonderful sense of
taste and aesthetic, so don't change a thing. ;^)
  Best,
 Mark
