Looks nice. I just helped my buddy do a big rectangle and it took so long to screw it all together. I bet you had some time in your deck with all the great looking curves. Great job.
There's no reason your handrail posts need to be set in concrete, unless they double as the foundation, which they don't since your deck has a cantilever drop girder, handrail hardware on proper deck framing is sufficient.
Also - cement is an ingredient of both mortar and concrete, everyone associated with construction needs to start getting that right. You don't cement something in, you set it in concrete.
@chaserocks420 - Yeah, I know. I wasn't planning on even doing railings and didn't plan on them. I did attach the posts through the deck floor with special hardware, but it sure isn't like being cemented in. Good catch.

Great looking deck, I like the bench.

your posts for the railing should have been cemented in
