H The_Saint welcome to MyCrossword and congratulations on your debut grid, just a couple of things, in 4a you have an extra 'air' in the clue and going forward try and make the surfaces sound plausible, others more experienced than me will be along to constructively point out the problems with some of the clues , cheers 🕷️

These explanations are really helpful for solvers to understand your thinking ... but more importantly, writing them in detail can be a *huge* help for you as a setter to check that your clues *really* provide the clear descriptions or instructions a solver should expect. ...
