It's spectacular (the final position is especially gorgeous) but had you faced a stronger player, things could have turned out quite different.  It seemed like your opponent did not have much of a sense of danger, and didn't fully appreciate your tactical threats until it was too late.

The moment that really stands out was ...17Qc7?.  Personally, I think black's best responce is the following

17... QxR (it screams to be played)

18 BxR PxP

19: Nd2 Nc2

20: ENb3 PH8=Q

21: NxR NxN

And black is an exchange up and you have no mating prospects to counterbalance that advantage.

That being said, you certainly got a vicious attack out of the sacrifice and mistakes are easy against that kind of pressure.  Not to mention the pressures of limited time...
