Default Aerangis biloba mounted, what do you think?

Hey all,
I know this should go in the mount section but I wanted to post here to get specific advice on the Aerangis. This is my first mount and I think I made a mistake. I believe I placed the biloba to low on the cork. For that matter, I think I mounted it upside down as well. Probably overthinking this one. After looking at most of the Aerangis mount pictures on the board, I can see I did it backwards. However, I do like the way it looks. Let me know what you think.

Actually, the way you mounted IS the correct way to mount an Angraecoid. If you mount it the 'right way up', it's very easy to get crown rot and lose the plant. The way you mounted, water will never accumulate in the crown

I think you did a great job. Could have been a little higher to give roots a better chance to take hold but all in all a good mount.
