Try some hands seperate to perfect your hands, also some metronome work. I also agree w/ Insidethemusicbox in reguards to the fermata. Also, in measure three on, your beginning isn't dramatic enough in my opinion...It's the big entrance of the piece, and it's supposed to be like "I was written by Gershwin Bitchez!" and need to just be out there, full of the hustle and bustle NYC that George Gershwin was inspired by. It's a great work in progress, now you just need to polish it.
Not a bad start. you play this with a lot of drive.
Some suggestions: 1) rhythm is not always clear (even the beginning rhythm was incorrect--no rubatos man!-- maybe check against the score? 2) tempo fluctuation -- it looks like you were playing for a class? If so, it's understandable how your tempos kept fluctuating if you had some adrenaline pumping. Some metronome work would be helpful, though.
I think you need to slow it down a bit. It wasn't meant to be played that fast. However, you did a great job, keep practicing!

If this makes no sense then you need to listen to some Brazilian music.

tente clarear mais o ritmo, esta muito confuso.

i believe the first two measures each have a fermata on the last note, just for reference.
good performance, perhaps not as clear as i would like to hear from a piece but that's personal interpretation.
the way i think of this piece is that the left hand rhythms are like a locomotive or train and they just fit in with the right hand.
but, i like yours!
